American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

The Milky Way 


It is the night that seems most
lucid.  Standing several dark feet
from a Colorado campsite—trying

to gain any small notion of
what the Milky Way might be, when
a star shoots across the starlit sky.

The call is returned as small children
dressing in illumined tents for sleep,
intrepid travelers on the weary channel.
