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.
