Beneath Manhattan’s steel walls,
I long for the blue skies and the peaceful moonlight.
But everywhere is glare and neon spender.
Looking up is daunting,
But looking down is to submit, to kneel before this mighty human civilisation.

Then I understand the drawings and design inside those skyscrapers.
In the crevices of Manhattan’s steel walls,
Who has hung their gardens in the air?
And who has painted the blue skies and peaceful moonlight,
All upon Manhattan’s steel walls?

1 July 2023 in New York

在曼哈顿的钢铁城墙下
想念起蓝天与月亮的盛装
可一抬起头，尽是刺眼的反光与霓虹灯的辉煌
抬头让人畏惧，
低头就是是屈服，就是跪倒在这刺眼的人类文明之下

于是明白了室内的画栋雕梁
在曼哈顿钢铁城墙的缝隙里
是谁，把花园挂在了空中？
又是谁，把蓝天与月亮，
尽是画在了墙上？
