Four turns in the roda after a bad Sunday on the trail is a better return on a rough week than most people manage. After Zoé and the earlier poems in this series, a training log is a fun swerve.

I spent the whole week playing and training capoeira with a cut of at least 4 cm on my leg. An act of resistance! It's a 'deep' cut from an accident on a trail last Sunday. But I'm taking care of myself, and today I had an excellent training session, with high acrobatic jumps, gingas, and I joined the roda 4 times. It was inspiring! Axé

Getting into the roda four times in one session sounds like the day the ginga stops feeling like homework and starts feeling like yours. Capoeira is the one art I've tried where the sparring has a soundtrack, and somehow that makes it harder to fake anything. Axé back at you.

Blue velvet.
He wore velvet, blue like the Pacific Ocean. Dark blue like the Mediterranean Sea. I watched him from afar. My heart burned for him, but when he left, the ocean entered a deep storm. He wore velvet, blue like the Pacific Ocean. I could still tell: there are tears streaming down his face. Blue velvet, like the Pacific Ocean, and an overwhelming emotional instability. I could still tell: there are tears streaming down that velvet. Blue velvet. Judson Kaique 27-07-2026

Patient as a tiger.
I am far from my goals, even though I try to achieve them. I am like a climber at the foot of Mount Everest. I need to be patient, as patient as a tiger stalking its prey. I need to be as patient as planet Earth has been for billions of years. I may fall along the way, but I will always get back up. I am like a climber at the foot of Mount Everest.

Embrace the shadows.
Come on, embrace yourself, accept your mistakes. It’s not as easy as it seems, but you are a duality, a force like Yin and Yang. You are not 100% good and not 100% bad. Embrace the shadows and just…

Green and blue
I wore green for our date, I received the sad news that you wouldn't be coming. It's always been like this, from the very first moment. One life begins, and another is interrupted. I'm crying now in the city park, forest green, blonde hair. They told me the night would be peaceful, that's what they promised. On our second date, I wore violet, and I knew you wouldn't be coming. "No time for me, no time" for changes – that's what you used to say. I'm crying now in the city park, fores
