Capoeira friends

Maraveilla, Mateo, Formiga, Curiosa and Balanco

we are all friends, singing and playing, laughing,

cartwheeling

(except me)

and handstanding

(except me)

whirling, spinning, fast kicks

(except me)

I am the older one, the one who 

has never done a cartwheel or a handstand

but I am here, with my friends and we 

play and sing and laugh together.

I am here,

with them.
