She cried
Beautiful notes of
Melancholy-
Resonating,
Fulfilling,
Hopeless.

Orpheus’s Little Harp.
Cadences crafted sentences
That captured the hearts of every mortal,
Every god and goddess.

The story of the star-crossed lovers.

Forbidden,
Entangled,
Stars in the night sky.

Once a goddess,
Zhinu,
Shining amongst the heavens.
Only to fall.

Once Humble,
Niulang,
Toiling the Earth.
Already felled.

Consummation.
They become Vega and Altair,
Stars in the night...
