Two Ravens 015

if i knew you less well
i would mistake you for a gargoyle
but through all the ages
you have been the elegant master
of unpowered ascent

if i knew you less well
i would mistake you for a shadow
but through their sufferings
you have been the unadorned mistress
of bare necessity

why then knowledge?

it makes too clear, two clear
it comes from necessary assent
as two needles twist twine
so two, we make a tapestry
like water into wine
