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.
