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.
