TWO ARRANGEMENTS

“The Hymn of Geometric Arrangements”, Photo by Dan Meylor

geometry,

unlike the sea,

requires proofs,

postulates, theorems,

formulations of if A is true

and if B is true,

then C must be . . .

the sea,

unlike geometry,

requires its own logic,

random, changing

variations of wind

siren wildness wooing with

enchanting songs,

the polyphonic rising of waves

affected by the shore bottom,

the polyphonic breaking of waves

affected by necessity,

known at the end

by contrapuntal proofs,

melodic arrangements

of the universe.
