That is a composition worth the looking, my friend.
A difficult look. It does not make for easy reading.
I felt the palpable emotion here that I felt in the poem; a poem so strong I used it myself, though differently.
I felt the same hairs (No.s 3566 thru to 6588 inclusive) raise on my neck in both poem and your picture, above.
If I am honest, when I saw the thumbnail, it took me some time to want to click on it, because I know the general standard of your work, and I knew it was going deep.
I was right to be worried/not disappointed. The timbre of the almost-monochrome treatment jars and oscillates the nerve-endings, taking out colour from one's conscious,leaving only the bare essentials of raw emotion. It grinds from left to right like a road-surface remover, peeling back the layers into which we dare not, willingly, gaze.
I'm hanged if I am yet clever enough to see all there is to see straight away in an artwork like this; so I'll look at it alongside the poem, and take the emotional hit full on.
It's not just dark, emotional, true; it is also a very clever piece of technical work that fits the elements together so seamlessly, and in such a complimentary manner.
It drips an ache of threnody and spasm.
Thank you so very, very much.
Something this dark is sometimes needed to stir the emotions enough to galvanise defences against defeat. While works like this remain extant, I shall not falter.
I can't wait for the other two.
Best regards

You're right, dark, conveying intense emotion, perfectly composited textures and images. This is one heavy trip.

thanks, my friend. i hate to impose, but was wondering if you read the poetry i did it for, and if you think i did it any sort of justice.
