When I was young,<\/p>\n

I stole a thin slice of evening glow\uff0c<\/p>\n
to pin on summer wind\u2019s bridal veil.<\/p>\n
And later,<\/p>\n
I rudely broke the quiet moon,<\/p>\n
yet still hoped each night for its tune<\/p>\n
I folded fantasies into little boats.<\/p>\n
Squandering all for a single fulfillment\u2014<\/p>\n

in the murky melody of dusk,<\/p>\n
I fold old tickets, marked with time,<\/p>\n
and chase a mist, a fading rhyme.<\/p>\n
