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.
