    Sylvia Plath
    “There is a charge

    For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
    For the hearing of my heart -
    It really goes.

    And there is a charge, a very large charge,
    For a word or a touch
    Or a bit of blood

    Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.

    --from "Lady Lazarus", written 23-29 October 1962”
