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.
