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.
