Imibongo
Isipho sokunxila
Ukucaca kuhlala kuvela ezulwini;
Sisipho: ayifumaneki phakathi kwezinto
kodwa phezulu ngentla, kuhleliwe
ukwenza ubomi bakhe kunye nomsebenzi.
Imini iyeza; ubusuku ke
ivala igumbi elikhulu lezithunzi zalo.
Esi sisipho. Ngubani owenza okuncinci okudaliweyo
ngonaphakade kwizidalwa? Yiyiphi indawo ephakamileyo
Ngaba unazo ngothando lwakhe? Ukuba sele ifikile
kwaye kusesekuseni, sele kukufuphi
ngendlela yeenqwelo-moya zakho
kwaye iyasondela, kwaye ishenxise kwaye, isekude,
akukho nto icace gca njengokuzibambela kwakho!
Ocacileyo ukunxanwa kwendlela
yesifundo sokumenza abonakale
azitshise ngelixa esenza umsebenzi wakhe.
Njengam, njengayo yonke into oyilindeleyo.
Ukuba uthathe konke ukukhanya,
Ndingayilindela njani into kwasekuseni?
Nangona kunjalo - esi sisipho - umlomo wam
linda, umphefumlo wam ulinde, undilinde,
ukuleqa unxila, ukucaca yedwa
Ukufa njengokwamkela irhengqa,
kodwa ndiwola kude kube sekupheleni okungapheliyo.
Oku kukhanya kombandela ...
Oku kukhanya kombandela,
ngokwesiko lakhe kunye nokuvumelana kwakhe,
nelanga elivuthayo,
Ngomnxeba ozolileyo wokubetha kwam,
xa umoya ungena nzulu
kuxinzelelo lokuchukumiseka kwezandla zam
edlala ngaphandle kokukrokrela,
ngovuyo lolwazi,
Olu donga ngaphandle kweentanda,
kunye nomnyango ombi, oozing,
ayizange ivalwe,
xa ubutsha buhambile, kunye nokukhanya,
gcina ityala lam.
Usuku olutsha
Emva kweentsuku ezininzi ngaphandle kwendlela kwaye ungenakhaya
kwaye ngaphandle kwentlungu nkqu neentsimbi zodwa
kunye nomoya omnyama njengaleyo yenkumbulo
namhlanje kufika.
Xa izolo ukuphefumla bekuyimfihlakalo
nembonakalo eyomileyo, ngaphandle kwentlaka,
Bendifuna ukukhanya okuqinisekileyo
iza intekenteke kwaye ilula,
sorene of new yeast
namhlanje ekuseni…
Kuyamangalisa ukucaca
ubumsulwa bokucamngca,
imfihlelo evula ngokubumba nokumangaliswa
Ikhephu lokuqala nemvula yokuqala
ukuhlamba i-hazelnut kunye nomnquma
sele isondele kakhulu elwandle.
Ukuthula okungabonakaliyo. Umoya uvuthuza
uncuthu lwengoma ebendingasalulindelanga.
Kukukhanya kovuyo
ngo cwaka ongenalo ixesha.
Ukonwaba okungathethekiyo kobulolo.
Sukujonga elwandle kuba lulazi yonke into
xa kufika ixesha
apho ingcinga ingafikeleli
kodwa ewe ulwandle lomphefumlo,
kodwa ewe lo mzuzu womoya phakathi kwezandla zam,
loxolo lindilindeleyo
xa kufika ixesha
Iiyure ezimbini phambi kobusuku
ukudumba kwesithathu, okwam.
Umoya
Vumela umoya udlule emzimbeni wam
kwaye ukhanyise. Umoya wasezantsi, ityuwa,
libalele kakhulu kwaye lisanda kuhlanjwa
yokusondelelana nokukhululwa, kunye
ukungabi namonde. Ngena, ngena emlilweni wam
Ndivulele loo ndlela
ayizange yaziwe: leyo yokucaca.
Kuvakala kunxanelwe indawo,
Umoya kaJuni, ungqindilili kwaye ukhululekile
ukuphefumla, ngoku kungumnqweno
Ndigcine. Yiza
ulwazi lwam, nge
Ininzi into edibene nesilingi sakho
Ubabalo.
Hayi indlela ondihlasela ngayo kwaye undifundise
ukuhlala, ukulibala,
wena, ngomculo wakho ocacileyo.
Nendlela obukhulisa ngayo ubomi bam

ngalo mnyango uqaqambileyo uyinyaniso
oko kundivulela serena
kuba nawe andikhathali
ukuba into ifake umphefumlo wam.
