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.
