Poem: The Vessel

......about what it means to hold, to overflow, and to finally let go.

By Sara Pahari

There was a vessel​​​,



emptied, then filled: 


overflowing at times still, 


until it spilled.

It reached to pour, 


to fill another void,


it bled through cracks,


the vessel destroyed. 


Some vessels fill,


some vessels leak, 


and some, too broken-


-to keep.
