Aerosol Archaeopteryx – v2

Ephemeral denizen of the dawn

Emblazoned on the waking

An aerosol archaeopteryx

Captured for a twinkling

On the heavens, the dome

Feathers and ancient bones

Silhouetted in the tracks of the sky

there only for a fleeting, a few seconds

Like footprints in the new-fallen snow

Darkening blue where they tread

Rimmed with yellow, orange, purples

And their spectra

Before the blue

Flying still

Across the skies
