Aerosol Archaeopteryx – v4

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 had gone.

Rimmed with yellow, orange, purples
And their spectra, shades of color
Before the blue, the canopy
Flying still, forever
Across the endless skies.
