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.
