“I’m not sure which matters more—where the seed comes from, or where it takes root and grows.”
― A Wish After Midnight
― A Wish After Midnight
“Men Made of Glass
men made of glass
beware my smile
with lips closed
I can cast a spell
that will reduce you to shards
I draw magic from a well
more ancient than you can fathom
I commune with unsettled spirits
listening to their lament
you spilled my sisters' blood
because they denied you
shame led to slaughter
indefensible panic
my sisters are black pearls
far beyond your valuation
you were never worthy
and now your time is up”
― Say Her Name
