Individual Consortium

[LostNight]

Individual Consortium

Inoculated anonymity searches out for those
Companionate beliefs of an online community
Feeling safer behind the protected firewalls
An entire universe compress to mere inches
Finger pecks her soul in the vivid images of words
The press of the send key as if throwing a net
To open vastness of the other lonely molecules of lives
Floating, waiting for their chance to connect

Anticipating responses leaves it hard for her
To swallow the depression’s disappointments
Counter didn’t move comments zero
Self worth falls victim to the lack
Trying to keep the dory from drifting aimlessly
Desperately casting line by line worries
Tiding up the place designed for meandering travelers
Find their way to a welcoming bay
Clinging to the mooring buoy

Spirits lifted comments one
Hesitations setting in of flashing concerns
Heart pounds as the reach to the mouse
An uncomfortable numbness flushes the body
Realization of the click as thou a bomb blast of the
Opening door gushes in
Feeling the read for friend or foe
A connection of another lost visitor
Sharing their compassionate comparisons
