Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

Film and Portraits
P and Michelangelo
my painting storage
on which painted my childhood memories:
when I first sketched Patrick T-when I wanted so much to be a painter
remember how I had my drawings of P on the wall of my room?
then one day
I went to study painting, in Canada
then in Scotland, and finally in Italy
like what P used to tell me
oneday you would get married to an Italian
so it did happen
like what he said
before I left Hong Kong, at his House the Villa of the Rose
forty some years later
I still remember those days
vividly
Then when I could not make myself home
I started watching old films
starred P, and slowly
I finally
was able to individualise
those photos with P's signatures, given to me
when I was his fan
one photo was related to the film the Rose in tears
another, from Brotherhood
then another, from Love out of the window
Know why P is
still in my mind
For those who love the Sistine Chapel
by this time
you should be able to
recognise
P in the quality of a Sibyl
when the Chapel has been renovated
that Sybil
from underneath
looks so bright, in
his orange cloak
as if it is painted in gold
I often wonder why and why
P has been so important to me
maybe a memory
a visual memory
already planted in me
when I was little
maybe I did not realise it
but when
I see his face from films
I seem to relate to that of the Sistine Chapel
the spiritual Sibyl
visual memories
perhaps
are related to recollections
stored within
I still remember that day
when he was in our house
perhaps I was about eight
how I , behind the curtain,
tried to see that face
that eternal face
like the moment
in the Film Prince of Broadcast
that the girl was surprised to know the Prince so much talked about by her classmates
in school, was there
it is that face
that quality of Michelangelo's Sibyl
eternally stays with me
that keeps me forever young
at heart
forever filled with hope
and forever like a very little girl
who sometimes says
Ah, Tai Paul
Oh, Great grandma
a secret way of hidding my star from being discovered
during my everyday conversation with teenage friends
by giving him a strange nick name
so my mum would not get to be overworried
about my too
constant attachment to the face
of this sibyl
