Ayurvedic Kerela Massage

She was an earth goddess-coloured dark clay with a mineral sheen, cascading night hair, lotus eyes-heavy, silent, dark full lips, high flat cheeks; large muscular body wrapped in turmeric and green-engrossed, focussed, pouring hot oil, kneading, rolling, shaping, slapping, balanced and strong, working with her feet, large, rough, my slithery body,in strokes hard, long, thighs, legs, back, arms, up and down, relentless, intent, creating anew, a clay doll, from that-broken of will and flesh, to blow into it, spirit and strength-a breath of life -afresh.
