UCesar Vallejo—Pama-oems akhethiwe
Imbongi kothandiweyo wayo
Sithandwa, ngalobu busuku uzibethele esiphambanweni
emishayweni emibili egobile yokumanga kwami;
nokudabuka kwakho kungitshele ukuthi uJesu ukhale,
nokuthi kunoLwesihlanu Olumnandi olumnandi kunalowo kiss.
Kulobu busuku obucwathile ningibuke kakhulu,
Ukufa bekumnandi futhi kwacula emathanjeni akhe.
Ngalobu busuku bukaSepthemba seluqalile
ukuwa kwami kwesibili kanye nokuqabula komuntu kakhulu.
Sithandwa, sizokufa sobabili ndawonye kakhulu;
ubumunyu bethu obuphakeme buyoma kancane kancane;
nezindebe zethu ezingasekho ziyobe zithinte ithunzi.
Futhi ngeke kusaba khona isihlamba emehlweni akho abusisiwe;
Angeke ngiphinde ngikucasule. nasethuneni
Sobabili sizolala, njengabafowabo ababili abancane.
Amanga
Amanga. Ukube ubekopela,
futhi akukho okunye. Yilokho kuphela. Okunye,
uzobona futhi
kuzongizwisa ubuhlungu ukuthi nginje.
Amanga. Thula.
Manje sekulungile.
Njengezinye izikhathi wenza okufanayo kimi,
kodwa nami ngibe njalo.
Kimi, ubani owayeke walunguza kangaka uma ngempela
ubukhala,
njengoba ngezinye izikhathi uvele wahlala
emaphuzwini akho amnandi,
kimi, ongazange ngisho uphuphe ukuthi uyakholwa kubo.
Izinyembezi zakho zanginqoba.
Sekwenziwe.
Kodwa usuyazi kakade: konke kwakungamanga.
Futhi uma ulokhu ukhala, kulungile ke!
Nakhona asikho isidingo sokuthi ngikubone uma udlala.
ukukhanya okuncane
Ngiphuphe ngibaleka. futhi ngiphuphile
i-lace yakho ehlakazekile ekamelweni.
Eduze komgodi, umama othile;
neminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu ebencela ngehora linye.
Ngiphuphe ngibaleka. A "phakade"
wabubula ngesilinganiso somnsalo;
Ngiphuphe umama;
imifino emisha,
kanye ne-trousseau enenkanyezi ye-aurora.
Eduze kwendawo...
Nasentanyeni egwiliza.
Akukho
Akukho! Ukusa engiya khona
ukuqhubeka, eMfihlakalo,
njengokulandela umugqa ongenakugwemeka,
izinyawo zakho ziyoshelela emathuneni.
Akukho! Ekuseni ngiya olwandle
kusukela olwandle lwethunzi nombuso onokuthula,
ngihamba njengenyoni edangele,
okhokho abamhlophe bazoba ukuthunjwa kwakho.
Kuyoba ngubusuku emehlweni akho;
futhi uzohlupheka, bese uthatha
abelungu abazisolayo bagqobhoza amacala.
Akekho! Nasezinhluphekweni zakho
kufanele iwele phakathi kokukhala kwamabronze
iphakethe lokuzisola!
isinkwa sethu
Ukudla kwasekuseni kuphuzile… Umhlaba oswakeme
emathuneni kunuka igazi othandiweyo.
Idolobha Lasebusika… Impi Enzima

Ngingathanda ukungqongqoza kuyo yonke iminyango,
nokubuza angazi ubani; futhi kamuva
bheka abampofu, futhi, ekhala kancane,
nika wonke umuntu izingcezu zesinkwa esisha.
Futhi baphange abacebile izivini zabo
ngezandla ezingcwele ezimbili
ukuthi ngesikhathi sokukhanya
Bandiza bengabethelwe esiphambanweni!
Inkophe yasekuseni, ungavuki!
Siphe isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla;
Mnumzane....!
Wonke amathambo ami ayisihambi;
mhlawumbe ngizintshontshile!
Ngize ukuzozinikela mhlawumbe
yabelwe omunye;
futhi ngicabanga ukuthi, ukube angizalwanga,
omunye umuntu ompofu uzophuza leli khofi!
Ngiyisela elibi… Ngizoyaphi!
Futhi kulelihora elibandayo, lapho umhlaba
ludlula uthuli lwabantu futhi ludabukisa kakhulu,
Ngingathanda ukungqongqoza kuyo yonke iminyango,
futhi ngicela angazi ubani, uxolo,
futhi umenzele izingcezwana zesinkwa esisha
lapha, esithandweni senhliziyo yami...!
