Resist closure in my poem - ending without resolving.

{{poem_draft}}

Current tendency toward: {{tendency}}

Anti-closure techniques:

1. **Question ending:** End with unanswered question
2. **Trailing off:** Ellipsis, fragment, incomplete thought
3. **Image without interpretation:** Final image, no meaning imposed
4. **New element:** Introduce something new at the end
5. **Refusal:** Explicitly refuse to conclude
6. **Return to uncertainty:** Circle back to opening confusion

When anti-closure works:
- When resolution would be false
- When ambiguity is truer than clarity
- When the reader should complete the poem
- When openness enacts the theme

Revise the ending to resist closure.
