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.
