It began with a poetry book left behind on a train.

Soft-covered, water-stained, and well-worn—
“Stillness, in Pieces” by an obscure poet named A. Lin.

Inside, someone had written a note on the first page:

Maya found it on the 6:12 to Brighton.
She opened to a dog-eared page and read:

And below, scribbled in pencil:

She smiled.
Then, in the margin, added:

She left it on the same train the next morning,
placing it where she’d found it.

Weeks passed.
She forgot about it—almost.

Until one rainy Thursday, at the university café,
a stranger sat beside her.

He had a poetry book open—
“Stillness, in Pieces.”
The same copy.

He noticed her glance and held it up.

“Found this at the station. Someone left a line in it that stuck with me.”

He turned to a page.
Dog-eared.

He read aloud:

Then he looked at her, almost shy.

Maya laughed.
“I wrote that.”

His smile widened.
“You’re M?”

She nodded.

He closed the book gently.
“Well then, I guess it’s my turn to write the next line.”

中文全文翻译诗的边角

一切开始于一本被遗落在火车上的诗集。

软皮封面，带着水渍，边角磨损严重——
书名是《静默，散落之间》，作者是个名不见经传的诗人 A. Lin。

扉页上，有人留下了一张便条：

玛雅在6:12开往布莱顿的火车上发现了它。
她翻到一页被折角的页面，读到：

而下面，用铅笔潦草地写着：

她笑了笑，
然后在边角写下：

第二天早晨，她把书放回了同一辆车厢的同一个位置。

几周过去了，
她几乎忘了这件事。

直到某个阴雨的星期四，
在大学咖啡馆里，
一个陌生人坐在她旁边。

他正打开一本诗集——
《静默，散落之间》。
就是那本。

他注意到她的目光，举起书说：
“我在车站捡到这本书。
里面有一句话，让我一直记得。”

他翻到一页，
书页已被折角。

他读出声：

然后他看向她，略显羞涩。

玛雅笑了：“那句是我写的。”

他微笑绽开。
“你是 M？”

她点头。

他轻轻地合上书，
说：
