Stef, I can't believe I missed this one the first time round... I really wasn't paying attention around this time, it appears 
I'm very impressed with the changes you've made on editing, but most of all I just love that you've managed to weave so many elements together to form a complete picture. I am left with something of a catharsis, thinking that perhaps "poetry" is found in the wondering rather than the knowing -- the image of wrecked ships particularly sets me on a track of "who was on the ships/ how did their families cope/ what cargo was lost/ what secrets are lost forever?" etc.
Oh, and "stanzas of prehistory" is just gorgeous.
If you're still around, come back, we miss you!

It could be worse
