part 3: translations
(Slovak translation by Katarína Fišerova.)

White knuckled
biele hánky

Women’s very existence
Podstata ženského bytia

part of the poem Right there, by your heart
Čas¥ básne Práve Tam, pri Tvojom srdci

What the hell is she complaining about
Na Čo sa do pekla s¥ažuje

The burning
Horenie

Burn it in
Vypáĺ to

Domestic violence in America, Nashville, Tennessee (nose)
domáce násilie v Amerike, Nashville, Tennessee (nos)

Domestic violence in America, Nashville, Tennessee (stick)
domáce násilie v Amerike, Nashville, Tennessee (palica)

Photograph, nineteenth century
fotografia, devätnáste storoČie

Thank you, women who work
Ďakujem vám, ženy, ktoré pracujete

Changing garments
Striedanie Odevov

Don’t need the crutches
Nepotrebujem barly

Not getting better
Stále mi nie je lepšie

Feel so much
Cítim toko...

As I recovered
Ako som sa zotavila

Making sense out of the insane
Dáva¥ zmysel nezmyselnému

Isn’t that what it’s all about
Nie je to to, Čom to všetko je

The things they did to you
Veci ktoré Ti Urobili

What have I won
Čo som vyhrala?
