Umncinci wam umsiki wam
ndikuxelele okwenzeka kum
kobu bomi
apho kutyhalwa isitulo sabantwana esilahlekileyo
Ndakroba ubunzima obundirhangqileyo.      
 
Ngayo yonke i-jolt
ukungcangcazela komelele
ukuze ndiphinde kabini
lahla iimbumba zengqondo
emideni imihlaba engaziwayo.      
 
Kwingca ende yasekwindla
ngaphambi kokuba imozulu ebandayo ibe ngumkhenkce ezinqeni zerozi
Agxalathelana ukunyathela kwam kwithafa lothando
ugqibezela phi lo msebenzi ovulekileyo wokufuna ukungafezeki
ngaphandle kokuba amagqabi omthi angcangcazele.      
 
Iintsimbi zazikhala
iinyawo zakhawuleza phantsi kweveranda
le ndawo yovavanyo olulindelekileyo
apho unokufunda khona indlela yobubi
kwaye ungene kwindawo ethe tye yobunzulu.      
 
Iinduli ziya kugutyungelwa buhlaza oluvuthiweyo
isibhakabhaka siya kuba pink
Ngorhatya lwelishwa imizimba yethu iya kugxadazela
ngokubona kwitheyibhile yokuqhelanisa
izindlu ezingaselunxwemeni zobuntwana bethu.     
 
Ndizakubeka umthwalo wam
wenze umlilo omkhulu
ukungcola kwam, ubuxoki kunye nokuzingca
ukuze i-embryo entsha
Ikhaphethi ekupheleni kweenkuni
oonobumba bokuqala bokuhamba kwembongi
emva koko iphakame kwindlela yokuzikhulisa
enganxibanga zihlangu ethe cwaka
njengakwingoma
apho ungaphuma khona elundini
kukhokelela ekudibaniseni iintliziyo.
 
Umncinci wam umsiki wam
uyabona
umsebenzi omkhulu usilindile
kuvuyo lwalo lonke ixesha
ekucingeni ngehlabathi elizayo.
