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.
tenho nas mãos o mar
que me ilumina os olhos,
a memória do corpo
a sulcar a água,
da água a navegar-me a pele.
o desejo de ti
a caminhar por mim ontem
como se fosse hoje.
