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.
