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.
