      < the blessings of night >


  dreaming of home towns
  near warm coasts
  where they used to drill for oil
  and it seems to be late morning
  and i'm waiting at a railroad crossing
  while a switch engine makes up its mind
  just where to put some tank cars
  and the window is open
  cause the air conditioner is broken  
  and i stare at a few flowers
  small
  yellow
  just weeds on the roadside
  and it's a little hot
  but it's not too bad
  and you're sitting next to me
  on the bench seat of my old pickup truck
  and i can feel you
  soft
  warm
  as you lean against me
