For what it's worth, I had considered bringing up the inversion in L1 as problematic, but with each read it felt more natural and I became fine with it. I'm not sure inversions are bad in and of themselves, for me it's more about how they might affect or direct the read. "Gravity does not fail" might read stronger in a lot of cases, but in context the inversion seems to work better. It sets up the rest of the poem better.
