 And That is the Milky Way by Raymond A. Foss 
						A pure clear Maine skyopened above us, as the fire died,
 the cabin lights dimmed.
 We watched planes, satellites,
 many shooting stars
 and the streak of the Milky Way
 course across the dome
 of the clear night
 quiet around the still campfire,
 echoes of the native drum
 pulsing through us
 as the night grew darker
