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.
