Slow-Burning Fuse Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Slow-burning fuse

A sad day first heavy rain going into mist
it is not an outdoor day, but I had to pay some bills
which was not spiritually uplifting.
This is a Wagner day, never cared for his music
one has to lean to the far right to appreciate
this sort of substantially handed music,
I'm waiting to go home it has been delayed again
now it will sometimes be next week.
Portugal is famous for being a friendly country
but there is an underly of hatred that manifest
itself when we read so many women get killed
by their husbands every year.
Resentment is a rumbling volcano that explodes
and lava flows down burning houses and
the woman who got in the way.
