What I can say is that this is an organic piece of free verse in danger of iterating into a fractal. You must stop it at all costs as it has already begun to degrade into endless complexity and repetitive patterns. I believe that you felt this, too, as so very few examples of this genre ( there must be a better word) end on the word "end". I should have been a shrink!
