trains
that blow long lonesome whistles
at three a.m.
should have empty boxcars
with their
sliding doors
wide open
to catch the night air
once when I was drunk
in the back of a car
I heard one
it sounded as lonesome as a prophet
in a desert.
I didn't cry that night
but I sure felt that I could
and it was dark
so no one would have known
but me and god
