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.
