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.
