Oregon in Winter

Flight, Nature, Travel / February 12, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
The big plane slows, mists rise to meet it droplets begin to play along the windows My body, mostly water falling through clouds, mostly water I have been traveling some The water in me comes from the limestone caverns of Austin the rivers of Upstate New York, and million year old glaciers in the Rockies of Alberta The clouds have been around the world rising and falling as river, air and sea Quiet now, as I am I can feel them meeting again hear them, telling stories

Decisions

Nature / February 6, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
I was of three minds like a tree in which there are three blackbirds - Wallace Stevens Rooted to the ground I wait for one to fly away and free me up to flip a coin

Frost Bite

Audio Recordings, Ranch Life, Relationships / February 3, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
On the prairies they know that you have to use snow In January on the Wood River the laces got wet and then stiff and could not be untied Walked the whimpering long mile home in one frozen skate and one warm boot part of my foot and all my toes numb and milky white On the prairies they know that you have to use snow Too much warmth all at once can bring the feeling rushing back with more pain than you can stand I have since learned - and this is the sad part - It is the same way with the heart
