I really do enjoy the topic and the ending tercet is wonderful, though I feel like you can play with modifying the end-words a little more during the main body of this sestina.  I always enjoyed writing one of these and showing people and them not even picking up the form or even repetition of words.  In my eyes, that is the wonder of the sestina, when it stands formless even with that strict form.  I always thought of the end-words as people at the end of each line, either dress them up or strip them down to change the meaning yet still keep hold of the meaning.  Even homonyms work assuming you keep the meaning alive.
