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.
