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.
