灰霾的天窗，灰暗的街巷， 灰泥林立的擁擠建物樓房， 人事物不停過渡的灰澀地帶， 歷史記憶的片段也渺渺灰飛； 鐵皮圍籬青綠上， 日式木作磚紅牆， 隨著深藍鐵鏽頹塌崩解， 正升起一道純白的光芒。 Hazy skies and murky streets, A grey forest of dense ashy structures, Dusty areas where things endlessly pass, History itself likewise slowly turns to ashes. Iron facades mounted on dark green grounds, Japanese style wood and brick walls, Following the collapsing dark blue rust, And in the midst of this, a burst of pure white light.
