The Singing Knives Quotes

“The Minnow

If I press
on its head,
the eyes
will come out
like stars.
The ripples
it makes
can move
the moon.”
― Frank Stanford, The Singing Knives

“Soon I will make my appearance
But first I must take off my rings
And swords and lay them out all
Along the lupine banks of the forbidden river
In reckoning the days I have
Left on this earth I will use
No fingers”
― Frank Stanford, The Singing Knives
