10:15 PM
I arrive home and stumble to
My most favorite place
A place of comfort.
10:17
I nestle into
Pajamas that make my skin smile.
Closer to my cave.
10:20 PM
Autistic brain
was on over load.
Technology and sounds still echo.
10:22
Ears ring
Head screams.
Deep Breath with each light silenced.
10:24
exhaustedly I sit
in silence
In a darkened room to unwind.
10:28
the ringing stops
I smile when I begin to hear the frogs
singing near the river.
10:32
A smirk
I make the final move
to the cave for the final reward of the day.
10:34
CPAP full, Check
six pillows properly placed.
my weighted blanket straightened just right over the pillows.
10:37
Preparation
for final decent into the cave.
Head gear on and assisted breathing begins.
10:42
One Leg
two legs, big butt and more
lowers its self to the cave floor like a tired momma bear.
10:45
Pull at blankets and tuck myself
into the safety and security
of my bed cave blankets.
10:48
In my cave
I close out the buzzing world
let the frog's sing in my decompression sleep.
