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.
