Really liked your 1st stanza(for me that would be lines 1-13; COLD/FORETOLD) and how that was set up with clanging words: tainted moon, crying the crime..evinced (to be foretold?)...and I'm thinking, "oh there's a story being told here" when I'm wisked out to sea with the next run-on sentence (Hey, where am I? Was this the yesterday I was just in or the tommorow that just began? If I didn't know where I was, I'd probably be lost.
So, here I am swimming around, trying to latch onto a couple of imbedded words that might make a thought--just so I can pretend to know where i am (which is what I do in my real world anyway. So what's the diff? I'm up for a new experience).
Now, none of this means I'm lost, because that would mean I don't know where I am, when I know I'm within poem that happenes to take me, perhaps, into another dimension. Of course this doesn't mean I'm not already looking around for my little red shoes, because in the back of our minds we really don't want to loose our GSP to home.
To start summing up: (Oh, thank god; we can acutally start getting to the end of this). My feeling is that you are not a poet per se (tho this is is one or your talents and chosen medium). But I sense beyond/within much more, and this the archetype of an artist who will announce new forms.

To be together with ...
... our own burden and admit it, whatever the burden is, is to being into it's own healing process - a beautiful, sad but, also strong poem -

Beautifully worded optimism...
...in the face of deep loss. Only time can bring about such healing, but, healing does eventually come.
Excellent work, Jen.
