Among Us Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Among us

The dance of death never stops
A plane crossing the Atlantic losses heights
the chief pilot flirts with a woman
when he is called to the cockpit
Too late, a gigantic wave hits the tail
Goodbye Paris.
The heart of tired sparrows stops
it falls from the sky
hits the front window of a car
distracted, the driver hits another car
In the melee, no one sees the sparrow.
A tourist, going for a walk, in jolly Naples
is hit by a pig kept on the balcony
No more sightseeing.
You're not safe in bed, a nightmare
falling out of bed, hitting a nightstand
Dream over.
Life and death in an embrace, yet
we live as life dances alone
