n. a feeling of resonant connection with an author or artist you’ll never meet, who may have lived centuries ago and thousands of miles away but can still get inside your head and leave behind morsels of their experience, like the little piles of stones left by hikers that mark a hidden path through unfamiliar territory.
Estendo meu corpo sobre as madeiras gretadas pelas
lágrimas, cheiro a linhaça e a sombra
Ah, a morfina em meu coração: durmo com os olhos
abertos diante de um território branco abandonado
pelas palavras
