“Your eyes begin in my eyes which no longer see you. Begin in my voice which no longer speaks to you. Die out in my hands which no longer touch you. Your eyes are inscribed in my flesh. No one can bear to see me now. Sinister tattoo. I do the rain, I do the sun. For want of your eyes in my eyes.”
― Alejandra Pizarnik, The Galloping Hour: French Poems

“Eyes of a poet, hands of a killer.

Who the hell are you?”
― Alexandra Bracken, The Darkest Legacy

“4am and me. the only two beasts that will look at you sincerely.”
