Everything is here, now

by Justine C. Tajonera

The water is clear.
The stones have always been
at the bottom of the pond
though I have not really
seen them.
All of these elements
reveal themselves when
I have uncovered my eyes.

Everything is here, now.

Everything is at the bottom,
is behind, is a curtain away
from my own
clouded eyes.

Epiphany

by Justine C. Tajonera

One day
you will see
your feet
at the bottom
of the pond
clearly.
But not before
having muddied
it with
your movement
and not after
you have shifted
your gaze
elsewhere.
