Naked
Alone in the dark
Warm, smooth skin
Caressed by cool sheets
Curled into a ball
Arms crossed tightly
Hair, a soft tangle
Lying there
In the weight of time
Every moment of a life
Distilled to now
Silent house
Her own breath
A church bell tolls nearby
Pulse and heartbeat
Hypnotic
Mind, quiet
Spirit, stilled
A life
Suspended
