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.
Também quiseste
ser a concha, ter
um abrigo seguro
na pérgula
das águas. E foste
apenas um molusco
indefeso e vulnerável
a todos
os engodos e a todos
os anzóis.
