A. V. Koshy redux

"IF YOU LOOK, YOU WILL SEE" *

I look in the mirror

I see my face

If I look into the well

I see the moon

If I look into the river

I see its depths

If I look into the ocean,

blue lights

If I look into the sky, by day, I see infinite clouds

If I look into the clouds, at night, I see numberless stars

But if I look into your face

I see the stars, clouds, blue lights
the river's depths, the moon in the well...

all eclipsed

by your eyes.

*James Joyce
