A mis compañeros inmigrantes - Rachel Anna Smart
A mis compañeros inmigrantes - Rachel Anna Smart

Enviaré mi nariz de regreso a Polonia.

Mis manos de regreso a Inglaterra.

Enviaré parte de mi piel a Alemania y parte de mi cabello a Escocia.

Pero mi corazón... lo guardaré en Nəxʷq̓iyt.

To my fellow immigrants. - Rachel Anna Smart
To my fellow immigrants. - Rachel Anna Smart

My hands back to England.  

I’ll send some of my skin back to Germany and some of my hair back to Scotland.

But my heart... I’ll keep that in Nəxʷq̓iyt.

With all the love and anger of my Seya still flowing in it.

Disforia por Andy Luján
Disforia por Andy Luján

Por más que lo intento el espejo no logra reflejar lo que percibo en mi interior,

Labios demasiado regordetes.

Caderas demasiado anchas.

But is surviving worth losing my identity?

Who I fought to be?
