Can touch hearts larger than a thimble.

I killed my dinner
with karate
kicked him in the face,taste the body, shallow work is the work that I do.

The Milk-Eyed Mender (2004)

And, when the bulbs do flash,
as bright as morning,
the crowd keeps on gathering
like an electric storm.

Have One On Me (2010)

My favorite book of all time is The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.

And never will I wed.
I'll hunt the pearl of death to the bottom of my life,
and ever hold my breath,
till I may be the diver's wife.

Divers (2015)

It is too short —
the day we are born,
we commence with our dying.
