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.
