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.
