I agree with Col, in both respects: this is enjoyable to read and a nice change from the usual monotony of what comes out of these English assignments. And I think it's good that this is different from what you usually write - not that the usual is bad, but a person can get stuck in a style or a pace or a mode of thinking and a change can do you good ... even if you don't like all aspects of a very different sort of poem you can adopt bits and pieces of it later.
The snippets of place and memory almost add up to a story here. It's very close. They are nicely worded and kept my attention all the way through, but I sort of wanted the images to take on a direction. Maybe I missed the 'story'? This can work nicely without a precise story/direction, but having something like that might add another dimension to a poem like this.
