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.
