Insomnia

A poem by Mediana Stan, illustrated by Szitai György-Ferenc, translated by Rafael Manory

Mr. Rat stays in his hole
Cannot s’eep tonight at all.
He tosses, turns into his bed,
He stares at the moon ahead. 

If only the reeds were quiet,
Wouldn't rustle, wouldn't riot,
From his bed he could then hear
The moon gliding, coming near.
