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.
