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.
