30.3.14

 ὁμοούσιος,

I gave up self-subverting thoughts
     Self: separate, me, that which knows
     Subvert: turn under, overthrow
As my Lenten (springtide) sacrifice:
    To make sacred (to set apart)
    As holy (heilagr) or reclaim whole

Yet mixed motives complicate
Do I seek to further separate
Or is my goal to integrate
Self-sufficient or self-sacrificial

Is my self fulfilled through
More differentiation
Or enhanced assimilation
In either case: what from with what

Am I subject: (sub-jacere: under thrown)
One who is acted upon
Or actor: object (ob-jacere: before thrown)
And who is throwing

Am I perceived presented or purpose
Perceived by you presented to whom
My purpose or yours
Perpetually unfolded

If I am an idiot (as I sometimes shout)
Is the cause being incommunicado
Out of communion with each (all?) of
You and what we share in common

Presuming to conceive how I
Diverge rather than perceive
Our convergence here, now
Proximate occurrence

Might I for one moment be
Both subject and object
Can could would should
Be now known and knower

Not fully known or knowing
Unable to answer how or why
But now being wholly here
With in and of you
