Travel / June 7, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Packing
again in a place I love
for a place that I might like

Taurus roots
crab-grass to the ground

Each tearing tendril cursing
and wanting if it could
to kick
whoever made this bucket list

Still Missing

Still missing Georgian Bay Every day farther away

Missing Georgian Bay

Nature, Travel / tagged Ontario / May 31, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Missing Georgian Bay
With its many shades of grey
And a million years a day

In the Mountain Parks

Nature, Travel / May 30, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The beaver does not bother
to stop his building long enough
to slap his tail and dive

The black bear ambles unconcerned
along the flowered motorway
across from the great glacier

You want to be, at least for a day
that mountain goat
hanging impossibly on the slope

I want to be the bighorn sheep
that just passed four feet away
the one with the biggest horns

Indian River, Ontario

Haiku, Nature, Travel / May 22, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Above waterfall
in circle of highest pine
green showers down

By the waterfall
body rests in hammock
cells rush to the sea

Below waterfall
power beyond soap and rub
washes off city

Lying by the bank
trees holding blue hammock
lift it to the sky

Indian River
great blue heron stands
wise Tibetan monk

Flying the Concorde

Flight, Pilots, Travel / May 21, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

I am not immune to the desire
to wind the stem of old time back
and with as much success as most

Except when the Concorde flew the sky
and I, pilot to pilot in the cockpit stood
and watched the earth reverse for me
on a flight from London to DC

What have I done you ask
with the slice of time I stole

Saved it in a bank of cloud
above the ocean eight miles up
where I can go if I ever wish
to write a check for a smile or a kiss

Don’t Worry Mate

The Alp Leaps Up

Nature, Travel / May 19, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The alp leaps up
like a chamois shot

that hid behind
soft cloud and hill

and breaks us
with its broken beauty — Photo taken from train between Munich and Vienna

A Train

Travel / May 18, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Munich - Salzburg - Vienna 2019

The thing about a train
is that your feet never leave the ground

Though your toes
must curl in elfin curl
from hide of cow to wheels of steel

as you travel the rails
of others trails that lead you to your own

Riding in Cars with Kinder

Travel / tagged Children / May 17, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In Düsseldorf in spring
I share the back seat jail
with a kinder just turned one

Bindings force our faces
face to face

We laugh
at each other’s laugh
until the whole car shines

The world is indeed small
and round as two bellies quaking
