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.
