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.
