I missed this somehow. Its language is mysterious and rather beautiful. Irritated to have to look up 'pandanus' -- but saw that it grows in the Pacific isles, and NSW. So from that I thought the first lines might refer to early settlement, especially with lack of command, and the excellent 'taboo too foolish to be followed'. 'Rail against' rang a bell -- but I don't think it sensible to self-censor too much, else we shall have nothing at all permissible.
