The two commas at the end of line 10 is a typographical error. The periods at the line of line 12 is not.
there is always an element of doubt involved with the following. TK U MLJ LV NV
This poem belongs a well respected in the Western tradition artistic orbit (type, genre), it is placed about the top of its orbit, and I gave it top score without any hesitation. It's great that GM can write such a poem now and then.
On the other hand the orbit itself is not among the highest in poetry. Just look at the first line. Except for the last word the line is dead, carries no poetry.
(The ending is very fine while not completely original--I've seen somewhat similar effects in the past, and used a similar effect myself a couple of times; it's ok--poetry is old, many people write, it's not realistic to expect 100% originality in everything, in particular when it comes to technical devices).

The very first phrase of my comment: "This poem belongs a well respected..." missed word "to". This phrase should read: "This poem belongs to a well respected...".
