Herd Mentality

Audio Recordings / tagged Dehumanization, Separation, War, Xenophobia / August 10, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

North of the ranch house were the hills
named as a group and singly unfamed

Even old Frank who lived in a house
built full into one neer named the hill

Cows were a herd and never named
and a harem of horses was group only
until one condescended to carry you
and raised the relationship to naming

Armies, navies and those from away
were never parsed to persons

In Isreal many names and affections
in Gaza none
How to forget what I learned on the ranch

Through Chicken Wire Darkly

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / tagged Faith, Fear, Hope, Literature, War, Xenophobia / February 17, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The bounding beauty of foxes
if mostly lost on the housers of hens

A race any race
has a beauty in its face
seldom seen through crosshairs
or the fear of being seen through them

Kits and kittens give some hope
and reading the love bits of holy books
and the poetry of poets not named Poe
