How you feel while you
are lying on the table in Dr. Ming’s office:
hers is an unusual presence
for a doctor high heeled pumps
Audrey Hepburn hair
she came from China 26 years ago
she puts needles on your back
I’ve never had needles in my back before
then she inserts many many many needles
in your entire body
and leaves the room and you are lying
on a table in low low light
and suddenly you feel an enormous relief
as though you can let go
and all that is blocked
has the chance to unblock even if
it doesn’t happen now.
Your description of that ‘surrender!’ Is so resonant and eloquent!
