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.
