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.
