Reaching grandma’s ancient building, ground floor shul beneath her apartment, I climb the stairs and ring the buzzer, I smell the garlic, steak and french fries. That’s the way she says she loves me. So damn the roaches that share my table. Evening comes with hugs and kisses she shoos me out to miss the dark. I’m warm inside from all she gave me. I make my way through the silent park.
