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.
