No Evil
This noiseless nightfall, the penumbra of this desultory night,
Muted, hushed without your sonorous lies.
Silent without your cynical jealousy, your vindictive desire;
The halcyon comfort of your assured wickedness.
This soft daybreak, filled with crepuscular fog,
Quiet without you somehow, without your cruelty.
Your visceral viciousness and deception and malice,
Your opulent sin, malevolent intents,
Trickery and illusions, almost exuberant sin.
I hear no evil this night.
