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.
