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.
