30. Where the depression came from
Maybe I walked out of the womb with it
Is it possible to be born
With such a melancholy spirit
Maybe it met me at the airport
Slid into my passport
And remained with me
Long after we landed in
A country that did not want us
Maybe it was on my father’s face
When he met us in baggage claim
And I had no idea who he was
Maybe the rapist left behind
Or was it that criminal I called a boyfriend
Maybe he beat it into me
Maybe I met the one
And lost him
Maybe it was the love
Of my life’s parting gift
Or maybe
It was all of those things at once
沮丧哪里来
.
也许我与生俱来就有
这样一个痛苦的灵魂
或者它在机场偷偷溜进我的护照
在这个不欢迎我们的国度里
长久以后依然把我跟随
也许来至来接我们的父亲的脸上
在行李处我甚至不知他是谁
也许是强奸犯留下了它
或者是那个被我称为男友的罪犯
是他把它殴打进我的身体
也许它来自我得而复失的那个人
也许它是爱如影随形的伙伴
也许
也许,它是所有这些东西的融合
