What a strong image this evokes! I like the juxtaposition of the hearing and not hearing. It helps build the image of the poem. It really feels like you captured a moment.
The last stanza is my favourite. The idea of senses searching out an interpreter is excellent.
The poem flows really well and has a heavy tone to it. It evokes feelings of sadness in me. I am not sure how I feel about the change in narrator 3/4 of the way through. It either makes me think the evil has become us, as the “they” has dissolved into “we” it challenges the reader to look at evils he/she may have committed. Or it’s a bit out of place because it’s just a short stanza in the poem. Maybe the evil is talking?
It is a intriguing read and creates great tone! Write on!
