Cloud Of Mist Poem by Mustafa Arar

-Dedicated to the novel 'Mist' by Miguel de Unamuno-

I read your manuscripts
that you're getting ready to kill me
said the hero

You're a simple fiction
that I just created
Everything that could happen to you
at my fingertips
snapped the author

Unfortunately,
You are also a fiction
You are also a mortal
insisted the hero

Life is like a cloud of mist
Finite in mind
Infinite in soul
whispered the author
as a consolation
