Spin Measure And Cut Poem by ENO SUTRAMAN

Spin Measure And Cut



'The Littera is added! 'E is ill littera! , the man of choice'
Still born enlightenment -the thread is cut
Nona, Decima, Morta-
Among the ruins of the Littera of God-
Where once cathedral stood
Nona, Decima, Morta
'E nods in dust prostrate to dust of earthly lords,
They count the specks, 'is doubts, exchanging 'em for gold,
Nona, Decima, Morta
they are the i, they are the ill with them the Littera is added,
They build stairway to pigsty heaven with acorns blessed them be
Nona, Decima, Morta

note-the deities of fate-Parcae
The names of the three Parcae are:
Nona (Greek equivalent Clotho) , who spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle;
Decima (Greek Lachesis) , who measured the thread of life with her rod;
Morta (Greek Atropos) , who cut the thread of life and chose the manner of a person's death.
