Jan Oskar Hansen Poems

Terror in Mumbai

The face of a young terrorist caught on
camera, flushed look and his eyes shine
...

Road Works


The loose pebbles off the road I picked
...

The Lady and the Tramp

I took the bus from Ellesmere Port to Birkenhead,
from there the underground to Liverpool, walked
...

The end

So it is all over
ashes to ashes
...

Playfulness

Early morning
the rain has fallen in the night
...

To a friend

A friend of mine ended up in a hospital
His heart had taken a heavy load of a hard life.
...

The mourning
It was an early morning
The day before Christmas
The phone rang
...

Flying things

I once saw a flying pig
there was a hard wind blowing from the east.
...

God

The abstraction became the galaxy and has
little interest what is happening on a tiny planet
...

Botany

Have you had a shower?
Yes dear, and changed my t. shirt too
...
