For the Sake of Sounding

Do you know, as I read this I was thinking "well, that's exactly why you should write" -- words are stones, throw them as far as you can. 

I have a logical problem with "that tangle me to the tide".  You see, I want this to read "that tangle me in the tide" and yet I also recognise the need to be connected, so I thought what about "tether me to the tide" but then it loses the whole confusion aspect.  Have you ever considered kenning this to "that tethertangle me to the tide"?  Just musing.  

Other than that, the only things I could even mention are a couple of typos in yielding and restraints -- I'd normally send you a PM but the impossibilities of such here are a small price to pay.  This really is an excellent piece.
