Kari Krenn: Two poems

Poetryzine presents the selected poems by the Argentinian poet Kari Krenn


Renounce


I renounce the commitment

of a perfect woman,

to the transitory dissimulation

to put my parts together,

weaving nonsense stories.

I hide in Sunday afternoon

in my soul;

in the last sip

of your lips,

that flash my memory.

I enjoy unnecessary pain

of being so vulnerable

to the memories;

frayed pants

and the torn stockings.

From the pile of dirty dishes

in the kitchen

and the déjàvu that once

they have loved me.

I huddle in nostalgia

of my hours,

I look at life

behind the window,

pretentious airs,

to dominate my way

I allow myself to discover myself clinging

to the right side of my anguish

and on the verge of my tears,

know me alive.



On time


It is not late.

I'm still standing,

retracing labyrinths of pain;

rebuilding myself

without miscalculation.

I've seen myself succumb in your lap;

sinking silent

in the maelstrom of time;

as if every sin in the world

had been faded

inside me,

making up distances ...

causing absences...

I persist one more time

giving up,

letting the storm get stronger.

I choose the sky

and the swallows in my soul,

they take flight.

They pass the height of the word.

That is still beating between my lips

and with a lovely wink to life

I exhale verses.
