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.
