Compotier II, 2015, 29 x 56 cm by ETEL ADNAN - Courtesy of Galerie Lelong, Photo by Fabrice Gibert Potato Market Tata Azmi asks me to drive to the souk batata. She holds the dashboard nook and prays little duas under her breath; those slight whispers wafting into the depth of the floor’s ancient soda stains. At the potato market I park near the Tunisian carpets rolled in bundles like retaining walls for the “King Edward’s” potato: carpeted halls. “Here is a tomato box;” Fresh wrapped lamb, yams, and red potatoes for my mother fall from the basket Tata makes with her skirt to the box. She asks me to let my father, on his way home, know the cooking time is slow, and to retrieve our share after his tailor shop is closed. Layla A. Goushey Earthy brown roots tussle with mud on Yukon Gold. Muscle on the man who says, :”Hatha sinduk bandura;” 53
Dinnertime The forks to probe are where they belong. The knives for cutting rest on the right. The spoons of measuring don’t know where to fit, and whether we need them anymore. Candles with black wicks, flowers from my garden, a goblet filled with wine from Cana, where my father walked. We can toast my family, Jesus’s refugees. But this feast is about us, you and me. I invited you to my home, cracks in the plates and all. Zeina Azzam Horizon watch by A. Reed Garner 54
