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.
