Poema escolhido: 

My name sounds so good

French kissing your tongue

Intertexto:

Reading this poem, we started thinking about the essence of a name in a language, and how it can be modified by our feelings towards the person represented by that name. We related this poem with a poem that Pedro wrote a long time ago, about the resonance of the loved person’s name within the one that loves. In many languages, words that signify language are also the ones that signify tongue (for example, “língua” in Portuguese or “язык” in Russian). With this in mind, we decided to write another poem, based on both the poem from Milk and Honey, by Rupi Kaur, and the poem written by Pedro. 

The poem is, in essence, about how some words are more important than others, especially when it’s the name of the person we love.

The poem we used to establish the intertext is: 

“Seu nome chega no meu ouvido

Que nem uma serpente

Esse som

Nesse tom próprio

Ecoa em mim

E dança

Entro em transe: 

Só existe você nesse nome”

                                                  -Pedro Tavares

Produção Artística: 

I know very few words:

Even fewer,

Just one

I’m really glad

That on the tip of my tongue

There is and always will be

You
