her body holds truth
her mouth heavy
faking your smile

red flags on deaf ears
she is shamed
her curves shaved down yet carved deeper

her body holds pain
emotions find their vessel
dance
stomp
spin
she is expression
wild
gorgeous
free
she melts into walls
her hips touching every corner
her scent in the paint pores
her laugh in ceiling crevices
she takes up space
she sidesteps the shadows
she shatters with the sun

she knows
listen to her
she moves
witness her
she creates
love her

truth has temperature
she is warm
she is sweet
she is hers
