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.
