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.
