Stumbling, tumbling, jumbling space
Riffles and ripples in ecstatic grace
Yet barely persists
To mark where we’ve been
(We leaping!
We laughing
We lunging unseen!)
And roosters behind us
Galactacious spray
That glistens and glitters
The whole Milky Way!
Roosters means the action of forming a rooster-tail like the spray of water behind a speed boat. Galactacious is a made up word from Galaxy.
