the insomniac

the moon was out
as pale as milk
giving no lights
to the roofs of the street

the bells were silent
the people were snoring
the fire extinguished
the dogs asleep

a small ray of light
appeared at the road
as a car passed by
the dozing sheep

the cries of a mother
came from a house afar
as she held her child
dead, a slumber deep
