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.
