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.
