what's out there?

i buy a telescope
and set it up in a field, far
out in the country,
where there are no lights,
but a house here
and there on farmland.
i point it towards the stars
and focus on the bright
white sparkle
of forever, then i turn
it towards the farmhouse
where i see a woman
in the window.
she's staring out into
the darkness, wondering
too, what's out there.
