Top to Toe.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
If I gave you my leg that you might walk,
How would I run or climb or crawl.
If I gave you my eyes that you might see
For the first time, is it your destiny not mine?
If I shared my rights, hand over my pen that thou shouldest write about tender glen.
If I gave you my skin that you could live within would you not be me completely.
