lately, last month? running. straight. 30 minutes.
she usually sprint walk sprint walk
co-worker says nono long steady she say ok

every sunday does the kicks
sings the song
smiles, weird i know

evening when no capoeira
she goes to park
plays vamos vadiar angola
and sways about
waiting it to feel part of her

she eats greens and seeds and icky fish on occasion
even though makes little sad
cause understand body craves?

she does all this
and talks about how sad no one holds her hand
kisses lips
wants to be the one to cherish her
who she looks open eyed at, adoring

now that she has been through so much
and lived through so much
finally no one 
wants anymore

she cries, she hates, she gets tired of hate
she sits and wonders how to not sit and cry
and
little by little
better

and then body decided to quit
she was going and going and healed or almost
and then a break of WHAT THE FUCK

i was doing all the things
then something i thought would not come but it came

can i handle this
this is what i've been working toward
and...
8 days passed since it started
(2 days passed after it had ended)
somehow, kashi, r-e-s-i-l-i-e-n-t-?
yes, her
a success

and then body says nonononononono fool


but, still
but, anyway

on the hospital bed
it's not really that i wanted to live
it's not really that i was scared to die
it was just
that i didn't know
what the hell
was happening
