与其说是抑郁，
不如试着称之为冬眠。
想象黑暗是一个洞穴，
在里面你将被滋养
即使什么也不做。
冬眠的动物甚至不做梦。
如果你无法想象春天
也无妨。沉睡
忽略世界的警报声。把你的绝望
命名为一个安静的空洞，一个你去
疗伤之地，一个你挖的洞穴，
亲爱的，而不是
一座坟墓。
Instead of Depression by Andrea Gibson
Instead of depression,
try calling it hibernation.
Imagine the darkness is a cave
in which you will be nurtured
by doing absolutely nothing.
Hibernating animals don’t even dream.
It’s okay if you can’t imagine
Spring. Sleep through the alarm
of the world. Name your hopelessness
a quiet hollow, a place you go
to heal, a den you dug,
Sweetheart, instead
of a grave.
