I googled you

I googled you to see if you had died.
Typed [name] + death + dead, to slide
Well past the point of grey to black and white
You hadn’t replied,
You must have died!
Was I aright?
A search revealed in 1489
Presumably, an offender of that time
Like smallpox, plague or St Anthony’s fire.
I eulogised. Sermonised.
But never cried.
The truth of it mystified
As days went on, intensified.
I googled you to see if you had died.
But you hadn’t.
