Kwaye kunjalo ,
 kuba bekungelula
 ukulibala amadlavu
 yomntwana owakhiwe ngentobelo
 kunye nomntu omdala ofomathiweyo
 ubizelwe ukugoba ikhola
 phambi kwedyokhwe yolwazi lwentlalo .

 Ubuphila
 ulihambile ilizwe
 ufumene iintlungu
 et mutYiyo
 ungasoloko uzalwa nguwe  .

 Ukulinganisa okukwenze ukuba usinde
 yindawo nje yokuzimela
 ujongene nolona vavanyo lugqibeleleyo ,
 yi cache nje
 phambi kokuqhubela phambili ukuqhubela phambili uhlobo ,
 kukusonga nje
 ngokunyanzela iimvakalelo ukuba zikhuphe ukungonwabi ,
 sisigqubuthelo sobuso nje
 ngenxa yokungakwazi ukuphefumla ivumba lexesha elitsha   
 kukuhlamba nje iminwe 
 ngenxa yokungakwazi ukulawula ulwazi ,
 luhambo nje
 kwiminqweno yakho yezithuba ezingazaliswanga ,
 bubuxoki nje
 ukwenza ukhetho
 ngaphandle kokuxhasa ngakumbi i-paradox yokudala
 uMatshi omiselweyo
 Ukusa kwi-transdisciplinarity  .

 Ungumkhenkce
 uxolelwe
 nomoya wasentlango
 ukuhluza amasuntswana ayo
 isusa izikhuselo zenyama
 i-skeleton engcangcazelayo
 hambisa kwindawo engenanto  
 ingoma yokuqala yemvelaphi  .

 Kukho izidumbu ezomileyo
 ngemizobo engaqondakaliyo
 ukuba umntu ohambahambayo uyadibana
 kunye ne-crunches kwidayari yokuhamba ,
  amabala e-inki amancinci 
 iimpawu ezibukhali nezimhlophe
 phakathi kweengoma
 ukusuka kwenye indawo
 kolunye ulwazi .

 Zizibiyeli
 ukwenza iqonga
 de rhodomontades
 ubugadi
 apho ingasayi kuba yeyantoni
 into eluncedo
 xa kukho into eninzi yokwenza
 thina  
 abalawulwa bobukumkani 
 ekoyiseni ubuntu bethu  .

 Intshukumo nje
 ingoma nje yokwamkela indalo yonke
 ngenxa yeempawu zobomi
 dibanisa amanzi kunye nomlilo
 phantsi kwe-arch of soltudes  .

 Ukuba kwintlantsi yokubakho
 uvuyo lokulunywa
 ngaphandle kokuphumla kwengqondo ,
 kuba
 ngaphandle kwesiphithiphithi
 ummangaliso
 thina iimbovane ezibomvu zihanjiswe
 ekungxameni kwemisebenzi yethu yemihla ngemihla ,
 ukuba noxanduva ngokupheleleyo  .

 Emva koko phambi kwempuphu
 aluphakamisi uthuli lwendlela emhlophe
 ukwazi ukuphelisa iinkohliso ,
 dlala
 iinkumbulo ezikhawulezayo
 kulungile ,
 phelelwa ngumoya
 ngaphandle komphefumlo
 uze
 usilindile
 Ukukhanya kweenzulu zamaxesha
 kwisantya sezinto ezaziwayo
 abangenamakhaya
 ujonge phezulu
 ukuthe tye okucingelwayo
 uncumo emilebeni
 evuyisana nokwamkelwa okupheleleyo
 ezi zinto
 ezi shards
 ezi nkungu
 ukuba akukho mvumisi ukhohlakeleyo unokubonwa  .
 Phumla elwandle ukuze uphulule unxweme
 phantsi kwesibhakabhaka esijikelezayo ,
 ukucamngca kwakhona
 ithuba lethu lokuba yimfihlakalo  
 ukuze kube njalo ,
 ukwenza 
 ukuhlehlisa
 ecaleni kwendlela eluhlaza
 i-spool yeenkuni ,
 jagged
 ilastiki ejijekileyo
 iqhekeza lesepha eyomileyo
 umdlalo we-de-sulfured ,
 phambili kumgangatho odibeneyo
 izikhonkwane zomthungi ezilahliweyo
 ekoneni yoncumo olubi .

 yintoni ekhoyo ,
 oku bekungalindelekanga ,
 ngendlela enzima kakhulu ,
 bubomi phambi kokufa ,
 wethu
 lowo undithwalayo ,
 uyandimithisa kwaye uyandiphilisa  .

 Obu bomi bakhona ,
 ngonaphakade  .

 Phezulu eludongeni
 Isiporo somfanekiso we-schist esishushu
 Amehlo Athambileyo Ukukhanya kobuso
 eneendevu ezimhlophe
 ukuba ilizwi lenza ukungcangcazela  .

 Isikali soBomi
 ukuwa kwesilwanyana esirhubuluzayo sokuqala
 ukuba umoya uvuthuza umke endleleni
 kwi pirate bugs  .

 inkungu
 ngexesha lokuphefumla kwerhamncwa
 ukunyuka intlambo .

 Ukujongwa ngesitampu
 Inombolo yeAvogadro
 obhatyi yakhe evuliweyo ivezayo
 Intliziyo ijikelezwe yimore  .

 Ukubhabha okungenamagingxigingxi
 iingelosi phezulu
 i-chestnut kunye ne-oki ye-holm
 iintsika zendlu yam  .

 Ukucinga okuthe nkqo
 ngaphandle kwamaza ongxamisekileyo
 amavumba arhabaxa
 iminwe yatshintshisana .

 wena nje
 kuye omnye
 sigcine isiko  .

 Ubulumko

 oku kubuyela umva nje
 à l'orée du jour commençant .

Pleine Lune s'est levée à l'ouest     
   
 Ngomso ekuseni ,   
 isidlo sakusasa kunye nabahlobo   
 kunye ne-toast yamaphupha       

 Puis les enfants passeront        

 Kwisitulo esijongene nemozulu, ndatya iipesika ezimbini ezisicaba ,      
 owesibini ukhule ngakumbi kunowokuqala  
   
 À l'est rien de nouveau  .

 Bonke abo   
 abeza ngaphambili   
 ephuma ehlathini   
 emphethweni wezinto ezithethiweyo .  
    
 À celles et ceux   
 ukhathazwa ziingcamango ezingadibaniyo   
 amaqhekeza exesha elidlulileyo   
 ukuba asinakulibala .  
      
 Kwabo   
 leyo nge-sleeve effect   
 babonakale ezifestileni   
 kugquba isihlwele sabantu abangenamagama  .  
      
 Kwenzeke kum   
 ndiqokelela imithwalo yam   
 ngaphambi nje kokuba uhambe   
 ukuthintela ixesha  .    
   
 Kwenzeke kum   
 phantsi komthunzi womthi   
 ijulwe yinyanga   
 ukoyika ukubanda kwezinto ezintsha  .  
      
 Bendikwazi ukuvuthela kwiconchi   
 kwaye andisayi kubambisa iminqweno yam   
 ukujoyina ngesithende   
 imo yamadlelo anentyatyambo  .   
     
 Emva koko ubuye   
 ukuya kwabo   
 Iziganeko eziqhelekileyo   
 ukujoyina isihlwele   
 iintliziyo eziphezulu   
 iingcinga zekhowudi yebha   
 yohambo lwemihla ngemihla  .

 Amour   
 imfihlo   
 umanyano   
 ukukhumbula   
 Intliziyo yenzakele   
 ukuhleka   
 Inyanga eCrescent   
 ilanga nenyanga   
 hamba   
 kwi-adventure   
 ukutshisa   
 Ukwahlukana kuvuthwa umphefumlo   
 uhambo ngenqanawa   
 Intliziyo yam iphambene ngawe   
 kwisipili sesandla sakho   
 rose iliva   
 amaqunube   
 ungathethi nto   
 Ndikukhangela ukusuka emkhathini ukuya emkhathini .
