night chill ...
a blanket of lights
blurs the horizon
I sail the milky way
to a distant dream
Moonbathing, 17, Winter 2017

夜晚的寒氣 ...
一片燈火
模糊了地平線
我在銀河系中航行
直到遙遠的夢想

夜晚的寒气...
一片灯火
模糊了地平线
我在银河系中航行
直到遥远的梦想

Ls 1-3 sketch a gloomy night scene while the thematic and visual shift, (from the external word to the inner reality, from the lifeworld on the earth to the interplanetary journey), in Ls 4&5 give the reader a good dose of hopeful imagination.
