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.
