Oumuamua ------ Am I Poet Enough

look out from Hawaii where summit isles peek at volcan panorama like curious messengers scouting out ahead where we spied Oumuamua skim slanting past interstellar sliver rock tumbling by our yard from Lyra curving by the sun, on to Pegasus hyperbolic speedster, too fast for solar capture ...... am I poet enough to catch your angular drift ? prophet of the space age Arthur foresaw your approach some years ago for moments our eyes meet, tangential traveller mysterious wanderer, wonder who probes whom ? wonder whether we are worth your fleeting visit ? here's hello from us to the white-horse mythical stars wisdom and excitement resides in not being sure ...... am I poet enough to read space between the words ? do not stare directly be askance, be oblique and somewhat off-kilter watch the molten islands plume across the ocean cosmic time, ancient journeys, canoes and planets stumble on a meaning, kneel down, breathe in, rejoice feel transition, change of key, symphonic rise and fall music in the silence, in divergent destinations ...... am I poet enough to hear gaps between the notes ?
