The City Where I Love You.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
In a college class, I read the poetry of Li-Young Lee. His book entitled The City In Which I Love You captured my attention for a while. The title itself worked its way around my mind.
I know this feeling of a place where normal life seems to stop for a bit and the strangeness of a different place made me certain that this was the city I loved someone. Leaving the city meant I left that behind, whether I wanted to or not. It's this thing I relegated to a place; the person, the feeling, the moment, the memory -- left there. That way I could associate the memory with geography and find it easy to locate and easy to leave, like a city.
There are people I loved in cities, in places, whether they knew it or not. Maybe it wasn't love. But it was something.
