Decima For Decima Decima, aim your rod to screen Film into the eyeless abyss To a level in lighted mist Tenth Norn of afterimage dream Nests of ghosts in a webbed beam Born illuminated and queer Shake fate infinity mirror Glowing light child of Chaos string Night-swim bouncing and measuring A weird sister without anger. -Will Dockery -- Music & poetry from Will Dockery & Friends: http://www.reverbnation.com/willdockery --

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.

You really made a bit of sense from it or came really close, as it is a poem in honor of a class of being that is a peer to the beloved Muses. :)

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
