Poems
Jul 2018
Mirage
You are lamenting love that left one day
for the world of the impossible.
It was a dream, but is there anything
except illusion and make-believe anyway?
Our life is a summer cloud’s thick shade.
You lament love’s autumn folds,
and the division of all we shared.
Who said anything lasts? Hopes melt
and a sole question remains: Why enter my life
if dreams only turn to sand,
heat-haze blurring into heat-haze?
Translated from Arabic by Fogle and I, it was published in Reunion: The Dallas Review in USA 2016.
