Lines There is hope disappearing along the horizon into the future.

In the bright day these lines that light up our homes and keep the dark at bay squat on the landscape. Tall, angular, metal, dead, and alive with the crackling power that mimics the sun once it has set.

They stretch, from here to there, everywhere. Including some in their benevolent and warming glow, and excluding others.

Power lines or lines of power?

Or just lines?
