Holy Water

Audio Recordings / tagged Faith, Hope, Politics / January 17, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Jesus came in love
and love is a miracle always

which abides and shall abide

for as many in his name
who have pissed in the font
as many and more have kept it pure

On our knees this Sunday that Joseph the carpenter might rebuild

Black and White

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / tagged Courage / January 13, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Old mister magpie
yin-yang trickster
coyote of the sky

Wearing on the outside
what I’m hiding
in the in

Black and white
and good and evil in
clear and equal measure

Sitting on a fencepost
scolding me for
a coward

Eagle Eye at Eighteen

Audio Recordings, Ranch Life / tagged Regret / January 12, 2021 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The Golden Eagle hangs
on a string of grace
a hundred yards
to the west

I raise the 32-20
Winchester
and squeeze off
a shot

Dead hit in the breast
the string breaks and it drops

Quick voice in my head
Damn fine shot

Slow voice from my heart
Damn fool
