Isekisi lasentabeni
 nokwembuleka komlando wayo phambi kwakho .

 Ukusuka ekudidekeni kuya ekudidekeni
 hlalani ningenamphefumulo .

 Isifo somzimba nomzimba
 ngokubalekela
 lomkhuba wokungaboni lutho .

 Izihlahla zefir eziphakeme ezingafinyeleleki ku-chainsaw
 xhuma i-musk ye-mouflon
 endleleni yahamba 
 ekuseni ngebituminous .

 Ngiyazi ukuphilisa akulula ,
 kunokwelapha ububi ngomthombo
 igcwele izingibe .

 Sibe sesizifaka engozini yokubambezela amaphutha amakhulu
 ukuveza ezinye ezicashile .

 Kunamathemba angenathemba
 ukuthi ukukhanga komqondo ozulazulayo kuyayenga ,
 futhi ikwenze ilungele ukusetshenziswa ngumcwaningi 
 ikwazi ukukha imbali kunokuyiyeka ikhule.
 
 Imbobo yesandla sami ithukusiwe 
lezinsuku zokulila
 les perles de rosée d'aujourd'hui ;
 transformation où les gouttes d'eau clapotent 
engutsheni yomelusi .

 Finyelela ekunganqunyelwe kokubona kwakho
 kukuphoqa ukuthi ume ngaphambi kwemingcele yakho .

 Kungcono ukubheka amaphutha ayo
 ngobuhlakani obuncane be-silky
 kunokuqhuma ingidi 
 izinto ezingabonakali ,
 elizagutshuzelwa phakade .

 Le défait d'un lit se mire dans un ciel de traîne ,
 emuva ezinjabulo zomhlaba .

 Endleleni yamatshe , zezitshalo 
 nama-puddles ahlanganisiwe ;
 ekushayweni okukhulu kwehlathi ,
 Ngithuthuke  ...
 lapho kungazelelwe amanye amagatsha aphuka ,
 amatshe agingqelwe ,
 isikhathi singingiza ,
 iphunga lamafutha elimanzi rose ;
 ibhele laliginqa phansi ngothango ...
 ebaleka njengogandaganda odlayo 
 insimu yombila .
 Bengikwezokwamukela .

 Umdukisi kaNgabonwa wazala
 okwasala kuyinhloso yakhe .

 Kwadlula kanjalo-ke ukuziqhenya, 
 umona, ukuhaha ,
 bese kuba yisifiso esiyimfihlo sokuba ngowakho 
enamandla , 
 bese kuphinda lokho kwentando 
 ukuqashelwa , ukubusa ,
 ukukhuluma ngolwazi olucashile 
 futhi wakhuliswa ,
 ukuze ukwazi ukudlulisa 
 ulwazi lwethu oluqoqiwe , othintekayo , 
 nos enfants aveuglés .

 Udwendwe aluzange luphele ,
 ukububula kwezidalwa ezilimeleyo
 bakhothama ngaphansi kwezingubo zabo eziklebhukile
 weza egijima emagumbini omane ehlathi
 emzimbeni nasegazini lokuvuselelwa .

 Umbono owodwa futhi wokugcina .

 Khala okhokho bethu
 emgodleni wezinkumbulo ezifiphele .

 Umoya we-apocalyptic
 zidiliza amathempeli .

 Isobho langempela
 ngokuyinhloko ihlanganisa izivumelwano 
umculo olula .

 Isimo esisha esithathwa ama-athomu 
ekugezeni kwabo kokukhanya .

 Iqiniso lingaphezu kwakho .
 Ulindile ,
 engezwakali ngokomgomo ,
 futhi nguye oniholayo .
