In the Shadow of the City


All this undoing needs to be undone.

I’m going home for the summer. For a while there I tried to hang on to Philadelphia but it just didn’t work. Maybe next summer. At this point, it seems like the best option for then. I’m not sure when (still waiting to hear about May Term) but I will be going back to work at the same internship I had last summer. I’ll be going back to a place where I depend on cars, where I’m subject to a curfew. In short, a place I no longer want to be. Neil and Beth will be at home, though, and I’m counting on them to keep me sane.

There’s only three weeks left in the semester. Every time I think about that it gets just a little hard to keep circulating air. I’m going to hold on to these next three weeks, store it all up and hope it will last me the few months I have to be gone from these people I love so much. And then, in the Fall, Jeremy will be back but Lindsay and Matt will be gone. They’ll return only for Emily to leave. I feel like Jo in Little Women. Will we never be all together again?

I uploaded this song by Gretel that I’ve been listening to nonstop since I got their CD. Give it a listen.
