Gift of the New Moon

I can smell the beach deep in the tanned skin of my shoulder,
which flew free in the sunny breeze all day.

Me and my two new best friends:

A triangle of underwater screams.
A chain of rotating chains.
Bowls of the living earth.

You might have seen us flying by, smiling,
with our new summer hair,
carrying home beans to eat and to wear.

Glimpsing Minnesota - A blog I wrote chronicling the summer of 2007, when I used a grant from the state of Minnesota to travel to undisturbed natural areas to make etchings. See my etchings in the Landscapes department.

Northwest to Alaska - A blog chronicling the journey of the Stoltz family (me, my wife, and two cats in a U-Haul) from Minneapolis to Juneau, with photographs. I wrote it all in one entry, so that you can easily read it chronologically.
