MORTEN RANUM<br />
Denmark<br />
Morten Ranum (Denmark) is a poet and<br />
sound producer, who also works as an<br />
art critic, columnist and editor. Ranum is<br />
the author of five collections of poetry<br />
and one book of short stories, with an<br />
upcoming novel in Danish. Additionally,<br />
Morten Ranum is the host of the<br />
Tremella Radio show “Foreignness and<br />
Friendship”, which aims to document<br />
events and conversations with artists and<br />
activists, from the Nordic storytelling,<br />
crossing the multicultural Mediterranean<br />
Sea, heading towards the Northeastern<br />
Shores of Victoria Lake and preparing<br />
for a long walk through Bantu heritage<br />
all the way to Transkei Region in The<br />
Eastern Cape, South Africa, a land which<br />
has filled Ranum’s heart with reasons to<br />
write and connect.<br />
Jeg ved ikke, hvor<br />
virkeligheden begynder<br />
vi fortsætter ind i drømmene<br />
her skinner solen hver dag<br />
jeg suger mig fast<br />
i dit kød, slår skud<br />
og flyver som en fugl.<br />
Fuglenes vinger<br />
simulerer<br />
vores indre svingninger.<br />
Om aftenen<br />
forgylder solen dit smukke<br />
hoved<br />
du skinner op mod himlen<br />
jeg befinder mig i en<br />
skattekiste<br />
på bunden af havet<br />
den åbner sig<br />
og fuldbyrder livet.<br />
Vi begynder<br />
i virkeligheden<br />
her.<br />
(”fortsættelse”, 2011, p.34)<br />
No sé donde empieza la<br />
realidad<br />
Nos adentramos más en los<br />
sueños<br />
Acá brilla el sol cada día<br />
me adhiero a tu carne<br />
echo raíces<br />
y vuelo como un ave.<br />
Las alas de los pájaros<br />
simulan<br />
nuestro meneo interno.<br />
En la tarde<br />
dora el sol tu hermosa<br />
cabeza<br />
resplandeces en el cielo<br />
me hallo en el fondo del mar<br />
en un cofre<br />
que se abre<br />
y consuma la vida.<br />
En realidad<br />
empezamos<br />
acá.<br />
