Power Cloud

Layers of serendipitous composition!

Blue dome of sky unblinking;

Vapor trail pierces like a heart-bound dagger;

Hidden sun reveals its starry identity;

Fiery smoke threatens to occlude all light;

Power trestle stands its ground,

darker shade against the encroaching cloud,

extending lines of voltage-laden connectivity

to its team-mates in a stubborn

round of Red Rover.

Taken on 8 October 2010,

during a "controlled burn."
