Hey! Kazey here for a review!
So, I am very impressed with this poem. My favourite of yours so far. In the past, I've been sort of confused by the amount of mismatched imagery in your poems, and, I have to confess, rather critical.
However, I loved this. It had a story, which I lov e in poetry. It is my opinion that, although not prose, poetry should still tell a story. This did, one of a difficult yet ultimately prevailing love. And it was beautiful.
I loved the last two lines. They're so original and probably my favourite poetry quote ever (and I'm a sucker for quotes). I took it to mean words "seasoned with salt" so to speak. Correct me if I'm wrong.
However, there are still things to improve upon. You have some throwaway imagery, such as the dock you speak of and melting ice. They could be omitted altogether to be fair.
Honestly. I felt outclassed in this poem and incapable of reviewing it. One of my favourite ever. Thank you for sharing it so very much.
