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.
