In 2016, I slept outside under every full moon. It was my way of making myself get outside more and to pay more attention to the passage of time. It was a great, if occasionally frigid, experience.
an unbroken twilight trail
Ferguson Campsite


crackling winter grass
“Camping out?” the neighbor laughed
my Two Harbors yard
sprinkles, pines swaying
guarded by the old silo
here where I grew up


volunteers snoring
in harmony with frog songs
Finland’s dusty grass


dawn after storming
the solstice means adventure
at Fredenberg Creek




JULY 20, 2016
river’s roaring lullaby
Caribou Campsite



my shoe fell apart
so I guess I’ll sleep right here
in Crow Creek Valley



the highway glows orange
Fargo used to be our home
Liz lends me her yard



owls in the oak trees
cloudless theater above me
golden leaves crackle


shoreline cedars sleep
before the winter sets in
Encampment River



frozen ink and self
snowshoe hare investigates
Silver Creek Campsite
