Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum
Executioners
had finished
the crucifixion
of the king on the cross
Executioners
tied ropes
to the trunk
of the cross
Executioners
have done their job
nailing hands and feet
to the cross
Torment, suffering
Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum
Bones smashed
One upon the other
Wounds were ripped
Blood bursts again
Words of love
And compassion
Echoed
Through the air
Torment, suffering, passion, death
Scripsit autem et titulum pilatus
Et posuit super crucem
erat autem scriptum
Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum
Jesus of Nazareth the king of the Jews
The eminence on which the cross was planted was
About two feet higher than the surrounding parts
The feet of Jesus were near the ground for his friends to be able to kiss them
And his face was turned to the North-West
