I do as I please.
Now I'm on my knees.
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea.
And I am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry...

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)

And a thimble's worth of milky moon
Can touch hearts larger than a thimble.

The Milk-Eyed Mender (2004)

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)
