'aniseed' we're going for scent of anise? If so, the image doesn't work for me.
of imagery! each connects and supports the next rather than pulling in opposition.
'aniseed pelvis' is definitely original phrasing, and i love the sounds in 'the delta beguiled'... so rounded, curving, meandering, spreading... all that conjured by 3 words and their sounds.
