SAUCES

He has left again
for a land unknown.
The keys handed back
came along with
a number of things he was using.

To be given away to somebody

who might need them.

The bounty comprised of

worn out
curtains, carpets, bed sheets
and some furniture.

But the most striking feature was

a collection of sauces-
Asia Sauce, Asia Hot Chilly Sauce,
Simply Hot,
Maggie Hot and Sweet Chilly Sauce,
Mother's Hand, Heinz, many more.

Not one each, but many

of the same kind.

Some just opened,

Some opened and consumed...
a little left in jar, 
Some sealed and expired,
Some yet to be opened and consumed.

In an alien land

Flavors are lost.
It seems Sauces
are the only things
which remind one
of own country's flavor.
