The Bitch Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The Bitch

You came into my life the day I was marrying my dog
like a sandstorm out of the blue, it blinded me somehow
You came into my life and the took second place
Ii handled it well but loved me anyway till the day she died
And a new sandstorm came to blue me clean away.
I know to live in a place where the wind blows from the sea
sometimes I do think the salt spray in my face is tears
of regret that I should have married my dog.
And no matter whatever they say it had been the right thing
to do but love billowed in my face but despite this of all
you loved me all your life and has a place in my heart
No one can replace, a sandstorm in my face it is no excuse
I should have read you right but now it is too late yet
