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.
