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.
