click… clack… breathe… click… clack… breathe… plastic clicks under fingertips warm glow of the screen on my lips coffee breath fogs the midnight air cursor blinks… i’m already there wrist rests soft on worn-out desk every stroke a tiny caress feel the rhythm in my veins now one key… two key… pull me down typing is the only sound keystroke lullaby, rock me slow 170, let the letters flow fingers dance on glowing bones living life in monochrome keystroke lullaby, hold me tight one more line into the night every tap another breath digital heartbeat until death fan hum kisses the back of my neck scroll wheel spins like a slow caress blue light veins beneath my skin shift key sticky from where i’ve been spacebar thump against my palm backspace whispers “stay calm” enter… enter… enter… delete… delete… delete… save… save… save… stay… stay… stay… type… type… type me away… KEYSTROKE LULLABY, ROCK ME SLOW 170, nowhere else to go fingers bleed in silent code this keyboard is my only road KEYSTROKE LULLABY, NEVER END one more line, my only friend every tap a soft amen living life one keystroke… amen
