Power Lines and Wrinkles

Transformation
used to be ugly:
power lines across the sky
wrinkles on my face

Power Lines
a place for perched words
between trees, blue sky, and fog--
possibilities

Wrinkles
seeing sixty years
stories in rivers of lines--
possibilities

In the last few months, I've added more images to my power line collection. It’s been surprising that seeking out something I used to think was ugly is actually a delight! The process helps me see the world differently.

So I ask you: What are your power lines and wrinkles? In this spinning world that’s both lovely and devastating at the same time, what can you see with different eyes?

And let me know.
