This writing by Patricia Smith felt so emotional and relatable to love. She writes the storm as if it were a love affair with the city, a way to “break the city’s heart” and leave it “pining for more”. The hurricanes are using the city to become more god-like, to leave their mark on someplace, similar to people who want to leave their signature on other people. “I showed you the right way to romance that city,” she says; everything comparable to love, a subject everyone can relate to. There are such extreme emotions when dealing with love and I can see how tragedy and heartbreak can feel like one in the same.
