PINK JACOBINS

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
