at Frenco
across from Bar St Laurent
during the first intifada
a woman studying Spanish guitar
a few other artists and me were cashiers
always by the tills
a favourite
crescents singly wrapped
gingerbread hue but not
tenderness of freshest Turkish Delight but not
rosy crushed almond Palestinian sweetmeat
untold
times
my tongue craving its touch
years
searching
a recipe
without a name
not finding it
not finding it
