It is beautifully said in striking words and tone that arrests me at different points as I move through a startling landscape that inspires me (e.g. Blank, carapace, rubbed-out, nothingrose, blanknesses, noonelight and more), and the sharp imagery (blind bird) is like a jagged painting.

The subtleness of the extra space between S3 and S4 expertly uses blank space to speak volumes. The way the last two stanzas then proceed to lock into a rhythm and rhyme that, in and of themselves, again speak without words.

The last stanza is taking a long time to digest. I've still not fully digested it. I feel like it's meant to be that way. You've taken on such a difficult subject to address and you've done so with rare energy and unblinking concentration I can only dream of having.
