Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi
[Death will come and will have your eyes]
Cesare Pavese – 1950
.
For each of us death has a face; for me it will be Ari’s face –
Beyond everything, she is still looking at me. All the time –
So, I know that when death comes, it will have her eyes –
Will smile to me with her lips and cheeks –
Will embrace me with her arms –
And I am gladly waiting –
Day after day.

I’m Li; an outsider and a loser, a wayfarer lost into the blizzard, but still up and walking, seeking the right path to the right place. My past is my compass; my dead ones, my guides.
No lights ahead except those that just faded out.

As for some, more objective facts, I am a Catalan bi-gendered person, living in Catalunya (in the portion colonized and ruled by Spain). I graduated in sciences: Geology and Physics; but I’ve almost always made my living in the trade of fine arts and antiques, stamps, old books. I am a book and stamp collector myself, and a big fan of classical music -and so, a collector of recordings as well-.

If you’re referring to her, she was indeed.
Her absence is very hard to bear… Some days, I’m drowning in it and I can barely breath

Her, her smile, her personality. All of the above. It is still hard for me as well…..The pain will remain with me also until the end of time……
