Illusion Poem by Nesrin Aykac

Illusion

İLLUSİON

Life is not an illusion, Dear,
and neither are we.
Love is real, not a play;
we are not the players
lost in artistic anxieties.

We are not the anxious actors
hiding behind paper masks.
Tear them off—
return to the core of reality.

We are real, we are here.
And as I always say:
my only truth
is what I wrote here.
