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.
