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.
