Ancient Flyer

Oh they got the name right when they named these
Ancient flyers of the sun
tail like an alligator's flesh
skeletal cellophane wings
multi-celled eyes that a sci-fi writer could only dream

Hands on my hand
grabbing with barb and weightless grace
ready for the closeup, the glossy
made for publicity

well here it is...
