Associations with a place

I’ve written a short poem called “Anchored”.

Basically its about having a bad experience and its association with a place.

Some people, who have had a bad experience like a broken relationship or who have been cheated, never want to go back to the same place or even the city. Just hearing the name brings back the bad memories.

I was travelling through Barcelona years ago. One morning I was having breakfast with my girlfriend in a cafe. I had an english newspaper in my hand (first time in weeks) and I was reading it with glee. My bag, with my complete photo stuff, was at my feet. A few minutes later I noticed that the bag was gone. Stolen.

I have never been back to Barcelona up to this date.
