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.
