Ukususela entanyeni ukuya emagxeni
ndothuswa linqaku eliphantsi
wagudla umlambo wesibhakabhaka
ukufika kwingoma enesingqisho ye cuckoo
ithuba lokugqibela lokuphefumla.      
 
yentlanganiso yethu
kwasala isibindi sokuba khona
njengoko ubani esenza ulwaphulo-mthetho
ukuqhuba ngesandla esizinzileyo
imela entliziyweni engalungiselelwanga.      
 
Kwifayile enye

endiyifumene kuJosephine
ephuma ebhafini
ukwanga okuvela ezulwini.       
 
Ukukhothwa kwasekuseni
musa ukumisa umhambi
kwakhona ukuyihamba ngaphezu kwexesha elinye

umsila onefolokhwe

ulonwabo lobomi obugqibeleleyo.      
 
Amadoda amathathu asezantsi kwizinyuko
Wasilinda isithunywa eso ngobulali
nqakraza kwisinye ukubuyisela
kwinqaba ethandekayo
womsebenzi ekungekho mntu uwucelayo.
