When The Caravan Leaves - Maya Spector

[Lawrence Robinson]

When The Caravan Leaves 
 
When the caravan leaves,
all that remains are the story
and some leftover poems.
We sit around the lavish breakfast table
and tell the story, intone the orphan poems,
feast, laugh, and bask in the memories.
The tent is packed up and stowed away,
the instruments are in their cases,
the lavish garments folded and stored,
but the afterglow of good company and good words
lingers, as everyone departs for home
or the next oasis.
