Mark Strand: Rindiéndome

Abandono mis ojos que son huevos de vidrio.
Abandono mi lengua.
Abandono mi boca que es el sueño constante de mi lengua.
Abandono mi garganta que es la manga de mi voz.
Abandono mi corazón que es una manzana ardiente.
Abandono mis pulmones que son árboles que nunca han visto la luna.
Abandono mi olor que es el de una piedra viajando a través de la lluvia.
Abandono mis manos que son diez deseos.
Abandono mis brazos que querían dejarme de todas maneras.
Abandono mis piernas que son amantes sólo de noche.
Abandono mis nalgas que son las lunas de la infancia.
Abandono mi pene que le susurra apoyo a mis caderas.
Abandono mis ropas que son paredes que soplan en el viento
y abandono el fantasma que vive en ellas.
Me rindo. Me rindo.
Y ustedes no obtendrán nada de ello porque estoy comenzando
de nuevo sin nada.

Original:

I give up my eyes which are glass eggs.
I give up my tongue.
I give up my mouth which is the contstant dream of my tongue.
I give up my throat which is the sleeve of my voice.
I give up my heart which is a burning apple.
I give up my lungs which are trees that have never seen the moon.
I give up my smell which is that of a stone traveling through rain.
I give up my hands which are ten wishes.
I give up my arms which have wanted to leave me anyway.
I give up my legs which are lovers only at night.
I give up my buttocks which are the moons of childhood.
I give up my penis which whispers encouragement to my thighs.
I give up my clothes which are walls that blow in the wind
and I give up the ghost that lives in them.
I give up. I give up.
And you will have none of it because already I am beginning
again without anything.
