Nova godina
Usnulo u bolnici
Tiho plakanje
新年
病棟ですすり泣き
最後には寝つく
New Year
Quiet weeping on the ward
Asleep at last

This haiku juxtaposes the most public, explosive night of the year with the most private, hidden kind of grief. The emotional narrative shifts beautifully from the global holiday down to a heavy, exhausted sorrow that finally runs out of tears and drifts off. The raw honesty here is heartbreakingly gorgeous. By personifying the crying itself as something that has "fallen asleep," the child shows a deep empathy for suffering. It honors that exact, fragile moment when pain finally pauses, finding a quiet, protective peace while the rest of the world celebrates.
