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.
