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.
