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.
