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.
