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.
