Pang'onopang'ono,
kuchokera ulendo kupita ku ulendo,
mu bwalo la circus
que le sable encense
mphekesera zimakweza makatani awonetsero.
khomo lokongola,
phokoso barnum,
fumbi lokwezeka
za ulendo wa nyama,
zofuna za moyo
anakwezedwa pamwamba pa nsonga za akachisi
kuthyola,
kupanga zomveka
ndi kusintha.
Za magazi ndi mitundu,
kulira koopsa kwa Erinyes
zawononga malo a ubwana,
milomo yadothi ya akasupe
apanga njira
ndi mphuno za simenti,
mwala wachitetezo wang'ambika,
mipanda yadulidwa,
maenje odzaza,
nkhandwe yasiliva
sadzapezanso pakati,
mphepo yoipa imawomba nthimbi za dziko
ku malo owuma miyala,
mtengo wakale wa phulusa umanong'oneza zomaliza.
Usiku ukukulira,

kupitirira
kuphwanya chikhalidwe cha anthu,
mabodza a anthu ambiri
sinthani nyimbo ya alakatuli,
mayendedwe ankhondo injini
tsatirani nsapato zachitsulo zaubweya,
thambo likuchita mdima,
ngakhale mitengo yosemedwa ndi mphepo ya kumadzulo
kugona pansi mu namondwe.
Mpweya ndi woipa,
pa khoma lolira
mapepala a moyo
chokhwinyata ndi kukakamizidwa
pa mfundo za miyala
yokutidwa ndi ndere
kukhala nyama yopuma
wa tzimtzum mwachisawawa.
manja owonda,
m'matumba kuti mufanane
Kuyiwala zikande,
kuponya maso
tsitsani zikhalidwe za mzimu,
kirimu wowawasa
zodzoladzola za clown kumwetulira
kuyendayenda kwathu kotsiriza.
Mkwiyo umatenga malo

mu chete,
zopangidwa zonyansa ndi zida zankhondo
ndewu ndi udani,
dappled ndi kukweza
zokolola zatsopano,
kukhala wothandizana naye mofunitsitsa
za kubadwanso kwatsopano.
Pali zitsamba zovomerezeka
kuposa masika,
zitsamba za Collegiate
wa kupsopsonana kwa okondana
omwazikana
kufunafuna chisokonezo chachikulu,
chidutswa cha mkate
pansi pa thumba,
madzi mu ciborium of alterities.
Tidzakweza Phokoso la ma ricochets,
miyala yoponyedwa pamtsinje,
zofikirika kwa ofunafuna chitetezo,
akutuluka mu ukapolo wathu.
