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.
