I don't like 'squelched', it doesn't feel poetic enough for this piece. Perhaps 'quenched' would do the trick better?
Love the idea behind this and I love the format, I was expecting rhymes at first but it didn't feel any the worse for being unrhymed.
Now, this might be evidence that I need to take a dyslexia test, but 'many battles passed/some broken rocks' had this wonderful effect of making me also read 'boken bottles', a perfect illustration (to me, at least) of the rocks. Was that intentional?
Great last stanza.
