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.
