Really powerful poetry. How she's forgetting her name in the beginning, her mind going numb because of all the things that happened to her. And how her enemies are a faceless crowd of weapons. Civilization is forgotten. Things left in her mind are the basic sensations: cold air, cold bottle, burning alcohol.

And in the end she's enraged like an animal, from pure power of instinct, the only thing left to her.

The sea is a symbol that's appearing over and over again, like a very large and imposing force. It's bigger than her, she is trying to fight it, but can't overpower.
