she sheds tears
for the loss of a relationship
student to teacher
after five years.
a jiu-jitsu blue belt
is worth very little
placed against twice-weekly belittling
and fat shaming.
She put on weight when she was ill
and struggles to get it off again
but that's why she did sports.
Another passion will come.
This is a five cycle of her life
she will repeat.
