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.
