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.
