Observations after dark

Watching lights in the night sky
over Carter County, Kentucky
that do not move like stars.
One could be Venus, illuminated
by the moon. Others sweep
like satellites. My friend wonders
about the light through the trees.
I assume it’s a haint.

the days drive, burn, and hurt
but still: horizon
