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.
