"oh, dahling," her masseuse tutted,
"your muscles are so tight!
you must stretch much, much more, sweetheart.
promise me, okay?" she finished with a powerful nod.

"come," she said in her charming accent,
"i show you how."

and she opened up the room
and proceeded to show her how
to stretch her body and release its tension.

"dahling," she continued,
"do the stretching to music
so that your spirit can play and stretch, too!
okay?"

"okay," she replied with a grin
and giggled out loud when she saw her inner goddess groove
in anticipation of having new freedom
to stretch outside the confines of her own physical body,
doing away with lines and contours and into that which knows no boundaries.
