maison blanche

papadrums
with tomato and ginger chutney
house wine
seco, blanco
couscous and
seasonal sautéed vegetables
goat cheese cheesecake
the flamboyant waiter recommended.

my tourist sweat doesn?t matter.
my exhausted feet will find
respite
here.

drown my thoughts
in the camida
dice up preconceived notions of dinnertime.
dissolve barriers to my family future.
all tucked
all told
all time
in maison blanche.
