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.
