31.3.14

 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 further separate
Or ought I integrate
Self-suffice or self-sacrifice

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

Socrates and Jesus
Apotheosistic selves
Achieved through self-
Sacrificing deference

Siddhartha suggested
Self as sensual
Yearning and
Suffering's source

Were their selves
Subverted somehow
Converted into a
Species of un-self

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 vivified

If an idiot (as I sometimes shout)
Could the cause be 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
Just jacere as in situated
Can could would should
Be now known and knower
Neither compromised
Intransitive and subject free
jaceo jacere jacui jacitus

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