The Fall and Rise of Man

Audio Recordings / tagged Autumn, Denial, Distraction, Nature / October 11, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Man lives
and sometimes
thrives on a diet of denial

There's one now
smile pasted on his face

Counting every color
of the leaves around his feet
to keep from thinking of winter

Sweet Memories

My mother's mother
lost a leg in the sugar wars

We dragged our butts across town to see her
she dragged hers across the hosue to serve us

You would think that each visit
might have served as a caution

But, as young minds
may twist and stay twisted

I took away instead
an infinite ability to ignore the obvious

and a taste for milk and ginger cookies
