Soybeans with bells, yellowing, green tassels of corn, geese again and again. I see the birds but wind takes all the sound. Small towns are reduced to chains or storefronts, boarded-up. Almost to the river called a lake, gray stones of water, dammed, white-capped, hinge between states. Some fields are so gold they seem to be singing. The gold fields lie down, flat but not empty, and will be harvested later with blades. Near Odessa I come to a place where the end is beginning. Where the light is absolute, it rises.
