This is pretty damn good. So much so that all I have are quibbles. So I will quibble

Why the question mark at the end of line one? The end of the question is actually at the end of stanza 4 where a natural break occurs anyway. Or right at the end if the whole is one sentence rather than the 2 I see it as. I'd be tempted to remove it entirely to allow for the alternative readings of this, but maybe that's just me.

I would change 'when' in line 2 to 'as' to make it more in the moment.

In stanza 4 I would have either 'and' or 'then' but not both. To me you do not need the extra word here.
