Cleave (1 & 2)

cleave¹ | klēv |

I, night; gentle rider.

I, diaphanous warrior.

I, literate, silent owl:

night.

Night! 

I, cotton knight,

cleave the air,

as I do as I do.

cleave² | klēv |

As do arrows, as do

spears. As do crows,

to arrive over river,

over mountain, over

meadow, as do I; to woo,

to weave daylight to

shadow, to cleave to

you, literate, silent owl.
