Sweet Reward |
| he was freshly shorn and the moon was weak and an empty street |
| stretched out before him, he was 39 on December 10th w/ a birthday |
| two weeks away, the train went clickety-clickety beneath his feet and |
| his clothes didn’t fit so good any more. |
| he could see his breath as he |
| rode between the coach and the dining car. |
| .home seemed so far away but |
| he got there in less than a half a day. |
| .the world had kept spinning all the |
| time he was gone but he couldn’t say how it had changed. |
| she talked to him quietly and looked him in the eye and said, «You can |
| stay as long as you like.» |
| He smiled a little smile when she opened the |
| window and let a little breeze inside. |
| he split two cords of wood and he |
| painted the fence. |
| and he ate good food every day. |
| she got him a job fix- |
| ing cars for her uncle. |
| he liked getting dirty and then getting clean. |
| and when he laid down at night and held to her hand, he thought, «this |
| is my sweet reward. |
| this is my sweet relief. |
| this is what I waited for. |
| this |
| what I been praying for.' |
