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.
