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.
