Prompted by Enigma

 

Send Resend Resend
pressing letters keyed to
yesterday’s settings
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
still the click of keys
but the flashing before me
is just not the same
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the rotors set
the key established
one code book missing?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
you type out in vain
all of your deepest codes
when her cipher is locked away
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
where are the twinkling lights
on this Enigma machine
to map a path to her
