I have nothing to say about the dark

I have nothing to say about the dark.
Evil happens.  Nightmares do come by. 
Yes, I've felt some shivers. But even the stark
indignity of death does not terrify.
I have nothing to say about the dark.

Some things are monstrous. But I am ignorant.
I have run too long in the noonday sun.
Rejoicing is my mistress.  Others are sent
to chronicle dismay.  I'm not the one.
I have nothing to say about the dark.
