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

Reading haiku
in the limb-veined dawn
I do not long for spring

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

Sisyphus in Winter

It was easier with a stone
this snowball keeps growing

Sitting by the Pool
