Inner Critic at the Beach

Uncategorized / August 4, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Sand, sand, sand
and perfect bodies tanned

And the same sand-paper line
not mine, not mine, not mine

Angels in Texas

Uncategorized / July 10, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Some may die
in a state of grace
and some in a state of Texas

Be borne aloft
on the white wings of angels

Or carried as carrion
on the black wings of buzzards

And arrive at the same God safe

Sunsets Ends

Uncategorized / July 9, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Sunsets red as Hades forge
stoked by our church-guilt fear

Sunsets rayed like the holy crown
a promise in awe of a better home

Sunsets dance of the seven veils
luring us sweet to a waiting bed

Middle Age

Uncategorized / July 8, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Being as we are
centers of the universe
it is surely now

Rope Burns

Uncategorized / July 7, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

I want to be able to bring home to you

Not only what I caught today
but the rope burns from
the ones that got away

Not only the buckles for the ones
that I stayed on for the eight
but the taste of the dirt
and other stuff I ate

Not only the meat from that old bear
but all the claw marks he left there

That you’re the one I want to kiss them well
also shows the love that I can’t tell

The Snakes Were Easy

Uncategorized / July 6, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

When God in his youth
made mud toys in play

He never thought of the day
as few of us do
when his beard would be gray

Happy Birthday USA

Uncategorized / tagged Declaration of Independence, Dignity, Ideals / July 4, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Declaration of pure poetry

Long may that song be sung

Canada Day

Uncategorized / tagged Canada Day, Patriotism / July 1, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Oh Canada, flawed and free
we stand in awe of thee

Your winter sports, your soft retorts

Your rocky shield that prays not yield
to smallness when so large we be

A Hospital is a Place

Uncategorized / tagged Healing, Health, Illness, Surgery / June 23, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

A hospital is a place
of corridors and doors
and white shoes in the night

We enter trailing clouds of glory

We leave trailing clouds of story

The Glance

Uncategorized / June 11, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

And what if Lot’s wife
In half-fear hesitation

had come away
with only enough
to rim two margaritas
