Cancionificación del poema de Mark Strand "Giving myself up"

lyrics

Giving myself up

i give up my eyes wich are glass eggs
i give up my tongue, i give up my mouth wich is the constant dream of my tongue
i give my throat wich is the sleeve of my voice
i give up my heart wich is a burning apple
i give up my lungs wich are trees that have never seen the moon
i give up my smell wich is a stone travelling thru rain
i give up my hands wich are ten wishes
i give up my arms wich have wanted to leave me anyway

i give up and you will have none of it
because already i am begining again without anything

i give up my legs wich are lovers only at night
i give up my buttocks wich are the moons of childhood
i give up my pens wich whispers encouragement to my thights
i give up my clothes wich are walls that blow in the wind
and i give up the ghost that lives in them

i give up and you will...
