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.
