Ndine wopangidwa ndi fupa ndi mnofu
kuchita dzuwa loyamwa
ntchito yofotokozera
chinyengo chokoma chokhala ndi moyo.      
 
Pa waya woyaka
maukonde oponyedwa pa malonda
anatibweretsanso ku gombe
youma sphagnum moss kumvetsa.      
 
masamba olembedwa
anatuluka popanda nkhawa
ngale za Sisyphus
kuchokera ku dodger wa zochitika.      
 
Usiku kwambiri
anali atameza mmodzimmodzi
maswiti chifukwa
wokhutiritsidwa kuti zoipitsitsa zinali m’tsogolo.      
 
Zipsera pansi zonse
chitsulo choyaka moto ndi moto
anatola zomera zoyamba
kuti kuwala kwatsopano kuwonekere.   
 
Zoyaka kwambiri 
kwa pandemonium ya masautso
pansi pa khonde lokhala ndi zotchinga zabwino za mbandakucha 
wogwidwa ndi mphepo ya m’chipululu.
