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.
