i inhale with intensity
the nicotine suffuses my lungs
i adore your psychic immensity
your love is an intoxicating drug
sex is sacred and love is fly
i knew i wanted you when you first caught my eye
ladies butched up or fierce men in drag
we rule the night and we aren’t giving it back
trans and queer solidarity must grow strong and deep roots
radical love bears radical fruit
we are living through a maelstrom–a toxic melange
to survive we need our anchors-our seers-and our sages
liberation is not possible within the confines of this system
but if we learn to dream grand dreams we can find a sacred river
the anarchist imagination opens windows to other worlds
armed with materialist analysis we will let our red and black flags unfurl
