Ubusuku buchithe    
Kwikhalenda ye-obsessions    
Ndiwubonile umdlalo wabafileyo nabaphilayo    
Ukuxoxa ngesaphetha esitsaliweyo    
Phakathi kokufuduka.        

Utolo olungcangcazelayo alukhangelwanga kwincam yepoplar
I-crunchy ishiya ngokuthanda kwayo
Ibhakwe kwi-hue à dia
Iimpawu zeMfazwe
Emlonyeni we-demiurge.        

ihobe liyabhabha !    
Kwaye ndijolise kum ngeliso lakhe elibomvu
Kwithiyetha enomsindo
Ukwalathisa iingoma zengoma ecacileyo
Ukujonga ukoyikeka kunye nentshabalalo.        

Ii-apile zamehlo akho
Ukuyila nge-stroke ye-rimmel
Ukuphakamisa i-Cheekbone
Ekubhidekeni kwempuphu yerayisi
Ngokuhlwa eParis ngokungathi uyahleka.        

Iplagiwe emva koko yakhutshwa
Kwaphuma emehlweni kaMarylène
Izithunzi ze-caramel zesibhakabhaka sasebusika
Ukusombulula i-rebus yeentliziyo
Kutshatyalaliswe yingceba yee-aficionados.

Ngezandla ezine
Ndibonise ubhontsi ulahlekile
Kwaye ngualfa no-omega
Akukho siqabu
Ukuba kwimeko yokwabelana.       
 
iindevu ezigcweleyo
Umlomo omncinci ngaphandle kwemilebe
Ndaphinda ndabona ngo February ebusuku
Greyhounds yobuntwana bam
Currents kuwo wonke amabala.    
 
Umzimba wam onetattoo
Amaza amangalisayo eGavrinis
Kwabonakala kum amaza alumkileyo
Kwichweba laseMorbihan
Ekunyukeni komsinga.        
 
Intloko emile
Ihaloed yi-bistouille yokwenza imali
Ndiyakholelwa kuThixo owonwabileyo
Iliso kwiliso
Kwindlela yobuzalwana yee-recumbents.        
 
Kwaye kuza kum
I-pruritus ebangelwayo
Ngesitulo eside
ukulinda elangeni
ukuphaphazela amaphiko
Njengeengalo ezincinci
Emthunzini wemithi yothuthu
Kwisango lasezantsi
yesakhiwo
unyana omsulwa
Iinkophe zomhlaba
Isiqingatha sivusiwe
Ecaleni
Ukubamba inyani
Zityebile kwaye zomelele
Ngaphantsi kwexesha lehlabathi ezimbini
Omnye uthambile kwaye uzimisele
Omnye unebhongo ngokusifumana isitshixo
Amagama ulandelelwano oluyimfuneko    
Enxibe isuti yemeko
Ngamanye amaxesha uyachukunyiswa
Kodwa ukuthwala ikhephu
Kuthuthu lokulibala
Ukuba ukucinga kuyatshisa
Ngamaxesha obulolo obukhulu
Kwimpuma yobuso ngamnye
Ukhumbula iliwa
Iphezulu yindlu yesibane    
Kwelinye icala lobukho.

Souffrant de l'absence    
Ils se sont posés sur la ligne de crête    
Dans le champ des morts    
A la rencontre des étoiles.        
 
Sibona ntoni apho ?     
Où la langue épelle les derniers mots    
D'un mystère sans fond       
Encillant l'envie de vivre.        
 
Ne parle-t-on pas d'effacement    
Alors l'axe du monde approche 
Au centre de cette quotidienneté    
Devant laquelle s'incline le Boiteux.         
 
Il est un jour    
A vivre ou à perdre    
Où le langage porte en terre sacrée    
Le bouquet du printemps.         
 
Un visage    
Ça se voit    
Des racines    
Point    
Juste une épaule    
Effleurée de la main    
A l'orée de l'enceinte    
Alors que la voix    
Creuse l'air    
De nos égarements    
Quand semblables  
A un lac qui se vide    
Les eaux boueuses    
Grouillent de vie    
Hors d'atteinte    
De l'asymptote    
Aux alliages reconstituée    
Alors que cela se boit    
Monsieur    
Pour que charitablement     
Lever le verre    
Soit l'acmé de l'égarement     
Produit à petits cris    
Aux suçons de l'esprit    
Espadouillés      
Dans le face à face    
Avec les fosses profondes       
Retournées    
Sous l'ondée énigmatique     
De l'enfance des hommes.

Ekupheleni kwendlela    
Ukudlula kweegeldings    
Uqhawule ucingo olunameva ngeenwele ezinde.        
 
Uphawu lomhlaba    
Ivumba nje lokuphola    
Umfanekiso obsidional wenkcaso.        
 
Owayesakuba yi-metamorphic rock    
Imingxuma ecinezelweyo kunye namaqhuma    
Labuya ilanga.        
 
Uxolo ngokunikezela ngamagama kuphela    
Saba nobubele bokukhwela    
Kwimozulu embi yolwandle.

Ithunzi eliphuphumayo kwinqanaba lamanzi abhombolozayo    
Umntu wabonakala kwi-fractal yemvelaphi.

Ukudibana noyise.        
 
Ngokuhlwa

phakathi kwamahlabathi angunaphakade.        
 
Imvula entle
Uya kuzigquma ulwimi lwakhe.        
 
Ixesha elidlulileyo ezandleni zakho
Iza kuthumela imibala yayo.        
 
Isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza
Uya kudla amafu.        
 
Ndiya kubona intaka
Ngasemva kwegadi.        
 
Uya kupela igama lam lokuqala    
Lide lifike igama.        
 
Ukuhleka kuya kuhleka
Kwikristale yomlomo.         
 
Phakathi kweengcongolo
Inyosi iya kungcangcazela amagqabi omileyo.        
 
Siya kutyibilika siphume kwindlwane
Silinde iTetralogy yasekuseni.        
 
Ungqongqo    
Ukwenza amehlo akho aqhwanyaze    
Iya kungena kwingcwele kangcwele    
Ngobukhazikhazi obukhulu.        
 
Mna, umntwana kaMay ozelwe enxebeni    
Ndiya kubuyisela ulusu    
Ukubhala phantsi amagama ambalwa avela eRimbaud    
 Ngasemva kwecephe.
