i follow the tire tracks west.  they  go 
 parallel  with the  railroad,  with  its 
 endless  mirrors looking kinda oily.  an 
  incredible power bound there... there's 
 a wire fence to  separate the two roads. 
                                          
 even though  there's a foggy  quality to 
 the air,  the path  i follow is glowing. 
 a  yellow-green  moss   has  taken  hold 
 where  the   machines   who  made  these 
 tracks once disturbed the  clover field. 
                                          
 we're  off  the  season  when the  birds 
 sing  beautifully. these  days it's just 
       screeches, or calls for help.      
                                          
 i   think   of  the   jackdaw  i  maimed 
   yesterday. i fear the dreaming gate.
