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.
