So there I sat on top of my sleeping bag, watching pieces of sky become one with the already dark leaves.

我坐在我的睡袋上看着天空与已经变黑的叶子缓缓成在一块了。

I opened my curtains and looked at the dark sky.

我拉开窗帘，看着阴暗的天空。

youdao

the sky day by day I lose sight of my true being in its dark shadow.

当这道围墙一天天高起接天的时候， 在它黑暗的阴影中，我已看不见真实的自己。

In winter, when the sky got dark early and Mother worried about her making the long commute home, Naima would sleep on my bedroom floor.
