Short Skirts and Strong Boots
"Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank, and buy a revolver."
- Cointess Markievick
A fire burns in my chest I can not control or dampen
smoak pours from my mouth in hot tendrils
made of hatered and passion
My heart beats to the sound of
revolution
femenism
and iron toed boots
This is a call to arms, my children
my wallflowers and hard femme
my girls who are afraid and tired
angry and out for blood
spit in the faces of those who doubt you
hold the hand of those who understand
but most of all, my girls, remember
the blood on your hands
must always match your lipstick
