Igxathu emvakwe gxathu,
kusukela ohambweni kuya ohambweni,
enkundleni yesekisi
lapho isondo lijika khona
amahemuhemu aphakamisa amakhethini e-velvet.
ukungena okumibalabala,
ibhanum enomsindo,
uthuli oluphakanyisiwe
wodwendwe lwezilwane
izinkanuko zomphefumulo
kuphakanyiswe eziqongweni zamathempeli
qaqa
la lente construction de la raison.
Wegazi nemibala,
ukukhala ngolaka kwama-Erinyes
zicekele phansi izimo zobuntwana ;
izindebe zobumba zemithombo
benze indlela
ngezimbobo zikasimende,
itshe lezivikelo selikhishiwe,
uthango lugawuliwe,
imisele egcwele,
impungushe esiliva
ne trouvera plus le centre des offices,
umoya omubi uvunguza izigaxa zomhlaba
ngasezintabeni zamatshe ezomile,
isihlahla somlotha esidala sinyenyeza izimo zaso zokugcina.
Ubusuku buyabanda,
amajuba omphefumulo
ukweqa
ukwephulwa kwesimo somuntu ;
amanga e-populist
buyisela ingoma yezimbongi,
amathrekhi ezinjini zempi
landela izicathulo zensimbi zoboya,
isibhakabhaka siba mnyama,
ngisho nezihlahla eziqoshwe umoya wasentshonalanga
lala phansi esivunguvungwini.
Umoya ungcolile,
contre le mur des lamentations
amaphepha omona
eshwabene futhi ephoqelelwe
ekuhlanganeni kwamatshe
embozwe ulele
abe yinyama ehefuzelayo
ye-tzimtzum engahleliwe.
izandla ezacile,
emaphaketheni ukufanisa
ukukhohlwa ukuklwebheka ;
ehlahle amehlo
qopha amanani omoya,
ukhilimu wesulfure
akhiwe ngokumamatheka komhlekisi,
nos errances dernières sont à portée des crocs.
Ulaka luyathatha
ebusuku,
ngokuthula,
kwenziwe kubi ngezinkanuko zomphefumulo
ukulwa nenzondo ;
dappled ngokuphakamisa
isivuno esisha,
annonciatrices des renaissances à venir.
Kukhona amakhambi asemthethweni
kunalezo zasentwasahlobo,
amakhambi Collegiate
wokuqabula izithandwa
zihlakazekile
ekufuneni isiphithiphithi esikhulu,
ucezu lwesinkwa
ngaphansi kwesikhwama,
l'eau dans le creux de la main.
Nous entendrons le son des ricochets,
amatshana aphonswe emfuleni,
ifinyeleleke kwabafuna ukukhoseliswa,
en sortie d'exil.
