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.
