Inconclusion
On delicate wings
soaring through clouds
or as a fallen leaf
headed for earth.
Soaring through clouds
unmarked glass,
headed for earth
perhaps paradise?
Unmarked glass:
poison
perhaps paradise
an enigmatic liquid
Poison
distilled from
an enigmatic liquid
deep in the mind
Distilled from
dying wishes
deep in the mind
heavy as stone
Dying wishes
on delicate wings:
heavy as stone,
or as a fallen leaf.
(P.S. If anyone recognizes the form of this poem, tell me! A high school teacher showed it to me once. Now I love it, but I have no idea what it is called. Maybe I'll make up my own name for it.)

Pantoum. Do I get a prize?
Definitely. As soon as I can think of a poetry-appropriate prize. :P
