Fish Facial

Marilyn Raff

A man with black, straight hair floating behind him
receives a fish beauty treatment at a hot springs

resort in China’s Chongqing province. He lies
on his back, water up to his nose, while

tiny, toothless fish swim, track his scent, nibble away
dead, dried skin around cheeks, lips, ears and chin.

He is certain the creatures will not
enter holes in his nose, ears and mouth.
