I like this alot, AH. Its sibilance brings a sensual, musical quality to the poem.
I happen to think titles are important. I was unfamilar with the word. Once I looked it up, like good background music, it added to the poem.
I love the poem overall, but it is also full of small gems within that make me smile, like the partial rhyme between siren and fire; the alliteration of 'haunting howl', 'rolling, ringing tones', and prickles and piquancies. I still quibble about the agile lips, but I would likely find at least one thing to quibble about.
An assault on the senses, but never an affront. An orchestra of sensual imagery and some delightful language play.
