This poem--thanks entirely to the help received from comments here--finally reached enough closure to be let out in public, and is now in print. The online version is available here:

Thanks, again, to all here on Eratosphere.

A very fine poem, Jody, and a fitting tribute.
The last lines have been haunting me in permutations since I read them.

Wonderfully musical poem, Jody: the intertwined rhyming is a delight to the ear!

This is a lovely poem, memorable.
(I think the dedication is too limiting for a poem of this depth and breadth.
Also "tenebraes" bothered me, pluralising the plural. You'd lose little by dropping the "s".
I missed it going through the workshop, so I'm giving my tuppenceworth now. Apologies for the breach of etiquette.)
Compliments,
David
