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.
