That line "original sin" is a killer. It implies knowledge, probably an interpersonal knowledge, and really sparks with meaning off the page. It also presumably could carry all kinds of moral baggage for some people, but I can only guess at that.
I also feel that I understand the "scratch of the sea / in my lungs".
I imagine this poem as something I hear when I put a shell to my ear on the beach. I don't care if that's a corny idea.
