An Essence
Separated from its vessel
It struggles
To hold its fragrance together
Apart from all
That surrounds it.
It longs
To return to its container
But others
Are trying
To put
Their own essence into it
To inhabit a space
That is not theirs
Oh! What anguish
Is felt by the essence
In this state
Of separation
It fears
and feels the fragmentation
Of it's being as
It struggles
To hold
The vapours of its essence
Outside
its container
This anguish
of impending fragmentation
Is terrifying and
destroying it
