trans and queer—standing strong
crafting pride with freedom songs
erasing division and healing old wounds
our phoenix flies high—coming hard and soon
the drum beat of revolution is subterranean and fierce
our army grows with polished nails and gritted teeth
the power of karma is deep rooted and visceral
transforming raw recruits into assassins with pistols
sleek and sexy–we specialize in fornication
we don’t die we multiply–drawing sustenance from pure elation
we are the pink jacobins—proud and fierce like the panthers
pink jacobins ride hard training street fighters and go-go dancers
