​
Black coal heaps in the first snowstorm
Red-illuminated clouds over the coking plant at night
The red and green signal lights of a freight yard
The blossoming chestnut tree in the wind
A forgotten mud pond to sink into
A garden full of roses
A little girl rattles her hand along the green picket fence
Men with briefcases walk quickly along the long wall of the colliery to the main gate
The hand of a clock advances
The wheels of the winding tower move in an enigmatic rhythm
The perpetual falling of a towering chimney
The scent of jasmine bushes by the swimming pool
The elder bush between the factory wall and the sewer
A very slight smell of sulfur in the air on mild summer evenings
A pair of lovers on the stone slope overgrown with wild flowers
A red mouth
A humming power plant in the evening purple
