Triangles

Art and Poetry by Maro Kentros

Why is it that the eye should see

in modes of trigonometry?

The David’s triading out at me

one-hundred years of history

And Delacroix’s triangles unveil

 the fantasies of ancient tales

El Greco’s Holy Trinity

weaves the mystery of infinity

While Degas dancers line in threes

Picasso’s Muses prance through trees

And ‘Luncheon on the Grass’ for three

 the third eye of the Bodhisattva sees

The Androgynous Nymphia of Impiglia

 romance the world of Opera

While triangles prance thru Space for Art

 anatomy joins body soul and heart

And Neptune’s Trident turns in Space

  the Sun, the Moon, the stars, in grace

What truth is cast between the eyes

          that triangles tie them to mind and skies?
