Behold a Man
Cf. Shakespeare’s Sonnets 67 & 68
He is a man who needs no oils or scents
The arts of makeup, filters on a lens
A touch of blush upon his honest chin
A photographer’s vanity lights placed just so
He is a man who is his own manly self
Washed, shaved, and combed by his own rugged hands
Hands that know shovel, hammer, ax, and saw
A businessman’s hands, a protective father’s hands
He is a man who needs no frippery
For he is clean and honest and just, you see
