“천 년을 산, 만 년을 산

꿈에나 잊을쏘냐
[Will I forget you in my dreams?]
잊힐쏘냐― 아― 하― 야.”
[Will you be forgotten?]

그러나 굳건한 걸음으로 걸어 나아가는 온 세계 프롤레타리아트의
[But of the whole world proletariat, marching with a firm stride,]

상하고 피묻힌 몇 억만의 손과 손들이.

[Hundreds of millions of broken and bloody hands and hands.]

저 동쪽 하늘에서 붉은 피로 물들인 태양을 떠받치어 올릴 것을
[To support the sun dyed with red blood from the eastern sky]

거룩한 프롤레타리아트의 새 날이 올 것을 굳게 믿고 나아간다
[Go forward with a firm belief in the coming of a new day of the holy proletariat]

Перемен требуют наши сердца,
[Change — demand our hearts,]

Перемен требуют наши глаза,
[Change — demand our eyes.]

Cuomo, Rivers. “Butterfly,” 1996.

Yesterday, I went outside
With my momma’s mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast

I’m sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn’t mean to do you harm
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
The ghost slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain’t never coming back

I’m sorry
