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.
