A Far Shore

Lots of cool stuff in here.

the knuckled bones of a beach
Fish heads poke through
mackerel eye’s. -- Why is there an apostrophe?
Where white hands haul a wrecking mist
I wash my mouth in sea-green,
a leaky man crocked and fuddled,
in a reeky mizzle.
Beyond the stone clumping town,
a swinging ark of a tavern - swinging ark in a tavern? or swinging tavern ark?
slops its grog over clinking mugs. --  The tavern is slopping grog or are the sailors in the tavern doing it?
Crows ballyhoo in its rafters
gulls scarf a sloshing brine.
Nest me there on a mast of sky, 
coddle me loose and snoring
on these off-shore banners.
For I have left the sea,
a rusty buoy now knells in me, -- I guess buoys swing back and forth, so they can metaphorically knell.
and it wallops in my dreams. - I like the l sounds.
I think there are some cool lines. My suggestion would be to delete prepositions and make sure subject/verbs align if you think that may be an issue.
