Stealthily.
Much.
Too.
Slow.
It.
Creeps.
Seeping.
Up from my toes.
Dark. Somewhat somber.
A blanket of stillness.
It crushes my chest.
Sits on my heart.
Masks my voice.
Wanted:
this ~
oh, sleep…
which comes none too soon when interrupted in the half-time of night.
Autism: damn you for this thievery of yours!
Once again you've robbed us of our sleep;
yanking us up from our peaceful swim in the still pool of pitch black night.
