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.
