Kertész Endre: So low

With the moon

Spreading his plate with plenty of sunshine dust

the moon shines in the sky

moonlight with a touch of beauty

smiling fatly at you.

It has achieved all it longed for, it has grown towards us

He's had 30 or so months

And compared to it the twinkling hope of the stars.

When she had done this deed and then burst

his prostate was not in agony

Nor did Madame Moon come home

So, having done one more deed, he rose upward

And to all the night

gave him a good background.

Our moon was in a fervour

Its light was swelling,

He could not see what was to come,

and from the top it would sink

And day by day, week by week, it would diminish

For that's the way it is

because the Earth is spinning.
