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.
