strong and proud while sleek and fly
knowing more than meets the eye
attracting lovers in the night
craving love and living life
conjuring powers from decolonized roots
branding bodies and arming our troops
unafraid of ambiguity and challenging fixed roles
imagining a future where our souls will remold
anticapitalist through and through–dedicated to dissent
melding disparate theories into weapons for defense
seductive and fierce—so full of karmic zen
proud to know you rising phoenix—proud to call you a friend
