Her style was characterized by usage of hyphens and weird sentencing so here is my attempt.
Explanation:
Once or twice it happened --
but all the while - i left the blame
to let the blame scorch the sky
and never, ever ----- reach
reach for me, because ---- no one could.
Attempting futility --- again
I rise, I fall, yes-- indeed again
Reach for me, because it seems
It's not possible
To reach, no one could.
<u>This poem attempts at her disjointed punctuation along with the free verse stanzas with augmented flows that seem to be found often in her poetry</u>. Hope this helps.
A) (Sentence 2) The freighter Florentine, 320 miles northeast of the Hawaiian Island of Hilo was lumbering along at about 15 knots when a garbled message came in over the radio.
This is the sentence that has a missing necessary comma. Another comma should have been placed after the word Hilo and before was.
The commas in this sentence enclosed nonessential information.
<span>The freighter Florentine, 320 miles northeast of the Hawaiian Island of Hilo, was lumbering along at about 15 knots when a garbled message came in over the radio.
</span>
Nonessential information means that if the said phrase is deleted from the sentence, then the sentence would still convey the same message.
<span>
The freighter Florentine was lumbering along at about 15 knots when a garbled message came in over the radio.</span>
