Decima For Decima

Decima, aim your rod to screen

Your life is only measured on internet surfage?

Film into the eyeless abyss

I like how 'eyeless abyss' sounds but what does it mean?

To a level in lighted mist

Darkness to light? Lighted mist means turning on the pc screen??

Tenth Norn of afterimage dream

Tenth north? Street address?  What's afterimage dreams? Life is but a dream?

Nests of ghosts in a webbed beam

Spiders as ghost on a beam? Or you are crawling on the web i.e. internet?

Born illuminated and queer

We're usually born with poor sight, is this to contrast how the net was born to carry information giving incite?

Shake fate infinity mirror

Fate, according to the parable and by definition,  cannot be changed. It just IS.

Glowing light child of Chaos string

Who's this 'child of Chaos?' You? Are you trying to explain something new here?

Night-swim bouncing and measuring

The Fates never measured while swimming, or on a boat, their measures were precise?

A weird sister without anger.


Makes the most sense,  she measured a life without malice. Just did her job.


-Will Dockery

I like how it sounds but the sense is, seemingly, lacking.
