"Did you know what You were doing?"

Uninspired.
Understanding utter unction --
Shall we say extreme --
I think i missed the boat
Because i thought it was about
me.
But i jumped in anyhow.
Bleeding Bread, but not for bloody me.
Broken? Beaten?
Yes, perhaps. Not like Him.
Reconciliation?
Raging against dark demons --
But its not rage that revitalizes.
Cold water first --
I dont remember -- In nomine --
-- Domine, non tantum pedes meos --
I want it though. All.
But i jumped for what? Why? When? Where?
Cold water now, to fight back -- but still
Uninspired.

The second half is more coherent to me than the first. I know I always whine about the alliteration,but that second line really loses me. I have to stop and try to figure out wtf you're trying to talk about. And even when I come to the realization, in the second half, I still go back to that line and puzzle over why on earth it is there....

Well, sometimes...but always?....."having" to read it more than once and "needing" to read it more than once....you catch my drift....savvy?

lol. I liked it... it took until the 7th line...but it's quite understandable... at least I thought so, but then again, I've probably got it all wrong!
Indeed the second half is a little more understandable...but then it opends up the meaning of the first half I think. Perhaps that is "bad poetics".... Still, it made sense in some odd way :-)
