Enough Already

Audio Recordings, Family / tagged Dining, Feast, Language, Satisfaction, Sayings / October 14, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Pushing back from table
Dad would pronounce his
sufficiency as suffonsified

One of his colorisms
like the mechanical catch-all
Where the spindlededominom
spins around the hootenanny shaft

Never found
an application for the second
but still much wisdom in the first

Swathing

Audio Recordings, Farm, Ranch Life / tagged Harvest, Nourishment, Pride, Satisfaction, Wheat, Work / November 14, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Turning for home at dusk
he takes a moment to look back in pride
at the last perfect swath among perfect swaths

Lines straight as Protestant prayer
overlapping and gold as Brunhilda's braids
floating on firm stubble cut at perfect length
to allow the prairie winds to blow above below
and dry the kernals in the holding heads
to Number 1 Northern, best wheat in the world

Tonight once more he'll fall asleep
counting loaves of bread instead of sheep
