fumana ubomi
 njengesipho
 njengesipho.

 Hlala kuyo yonke iminyaka yobukho
 ebuntwaneni
 ulutsha
 ukuba mdala
 iminyaka emidala.

 Phucula njengewayini elungileyo
 Incinci kakhulu iwayini ineasidi
 ukukhula ngumsebenzi wexesha.

 Sukuzixakekisa ngebala lomzimba
 umkhondo wokuhamba kwexesha
 imibimbi ekrakra kuphela ukwanga ekuqhubekekeni kokuba
 Hlala ebomini kunye nobukrelekrele.

 Yonke imihla yenza izinto ezifunyenweyo
 imvakalelo echaphazela ingqondo
 Yonke imihla yiba kwintsha
 Vivre.

 Musa ukujonga ipleyiti yommelwane
 musa ukuba nomona
 hlala kuwe
 efestileni yezimanga.

 Khula kwakhona kwaye kwakhona.
 Ukwaluphala asikokwaluphala
 ukuguga kukuhamba ebomini
 ukuba mdala kukulahlekelwa yincasa yobomi.
 
Yiba nomdla ngokwasengqondweni
 jonga ubukho njengomntwana ngaphandle kokuba ngumntwana wanaphakade
 jonga ubukho ngokwembono yolutsha ngaphandle kolutsha lwanaphakade.

 Soloko usiya phambili.

 Xa siphila ixesha elide, siya sikhula ngakumbi lo mgama
 ekuvumela ukuba ube khona
 ngelixa sele ndikwenye indawo.

 Nge gulp enye bamba uthuli lwezinto
 phambi kokuba sicime isibane
 ukuze lufikelele unxweme
 ukunyibilika
 isithuba soncumo
 ngomoya ovuthuzayo
 ekukhanyeni kwemini ezayo .
