Uthetha ngokusuka kumava
akamazi
phambi kodonga
ubuzama ukubhabha umke.      
 
Akusayi kuphinda kwenzeke ukuphazamiseka
ukuba asikuko ukuzingisa
kobu buthathaka, ukuphazamiseka kwengqondo
inxeba lothando kwiincwadi ezilityelweyo.      
 
Ebemane ejonga phezulu
amehlo akhe ecocekile kulo lonke ucalucalulo
kunye nokukhanya kwayo ngokupheleleyo
izakuba ngumatsha womtshato.      
 
Wayeza kufika elindile
ngaphandle kokuba intando yenziwe
de izityalo zinqwale
kwisipha sabo sevumba.       
 
Ebezinika ixesha
ukuphumelela
kule nduli yegranite
ngeekomityi ezingcwalisiweyo.      
 
Ayixhokonxi okanye ingene nzulu
wayedla ngokuthetha ngobuntwana bakhe
ngobuqhophololo
intloko iphuma emanzini amaphupha emini.      
 
Ngoko ke ndiza kubhabha ngokwenene
umkhweli wokuphefumula weenwele
uzimisele kwaye ungenakusoleka
ilizwi eleqa amafu.      
 
Ndiya kujoyina i-osprey
ekusebenzeni komzimba okuphunyeziweyo
ejonge esithunzini sakhe
ukuze uyazi ngcono kwaye uyikhukulise ngokukhanya.
