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.
