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.
