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 it 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 ot once
~ where th depression came from
