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.
