The room is dark.
Just the blue glow
on my face.
My thumb, hovering,
then pressing hard.
The cursor blinks,
an expectant eye
in the search bar.
A question I’d bury
under a ton of rock,
typed out, raw,
into the anonymous digital night.
What else is there
but the sterile glow
and the anonymous trail?
