she chose to let the lens
compose her body’s language
shutter speeds becoming
participles dangling
like the buttons at the center of her areolae
the tapered thighs
the calves she once thought too small
it all speaks
perhaps any shame she felt at first
lost the debate against inner beauty
in any event
the lens speaks for her body
and someone may be lucky enough
to learn all the words.
