Brazil yellow against Brazil yellow. The captain owns the studio floor — knotted jersey, blue shorts, the match entirely hers.
The captain · stance set.
Hands on the hips · the whistle waits.
Keep-ups · the ball obeys.
Down to the ball · eyes up.
Walking on · the ball in hand.
Half-time · the floor, the gold.
The goal · both arms to the sky.
Shouldered · the match her own.
When the whistle fades. Navy shadow, soft beauty light, the jersey worn close — the kit turned to glamour.
The look · ball to the cheek.
Stillness · hands in her hair.
Cradled · gaze lowered.
Over the shoulder · the collar slips.
Folded in · chin to her hands.
Reclined · hair like spilled ink.
Upright · fingers through the dark.
A breath from the lens · fingertips at her lips.
