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.
