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.
