Soul Sleep

In response to bwarren’s
Sunday Whirl Wordle # 654

Ropes bind wrists
bruised dark purple
against marble pure skin

Legs move restless
waiting for a chance to escape
the flickering candlelight

Waves of hypnotic chanting
slip into her soul
leaving an empty void behind

An ornate fan disperses incense
her pulse slows to its rhythm
her eyes close and she sleeps
