for does not do what you think it does; it is not an imperative loop. It is a list comprehension, or sequence-generator. Therefore, there is not a return or iterate call at its end, so you cannot place recur there.

It would seem you probably do not need either loop or recur in this expression at all; the for is all you need to build a sequence, but it's not clear to me exactly what sequence you wish to build.
