“I don't like Paradise,
As they probably don't have obsessions there.”
Alda Merini

“أنتظرك كل يوم
و انطفئ ببطء في كل مرة
نسيت وجهك
و يسألونني إذا ما كان يأسي يساوي غيابك
ولكن لا، إنه شيء يفوق الغياب
إنه تعبير عن موت محقق
لا أدري كيف أهديك إياه

Alda Merini

“Quelle come me non tradiscono mai, quelle come me hanno valori che sono incastrati nella testa come se fossero pezzi di un puzzle, dove ogni singolo pezzo ha il suo incastro e lì deve andare. Niente per loro è sottotono, niente è superficiale o scontato, non le amiche, non la famiglia, non gli amori che hanno voluto, che hanno cercato, e difeso e sopportato. Quelle come me regalano sogni, anche a costo di rimanerne prive. Quelle come me donano l’anima, perché un’anima da sola, è come una goccia d’acqua nel deserto.”
Alda Merini
