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.
