Izinkondlo ezikhethiwe
I-Rhyme
Amalebe, ababheki bothando lwami olwalufa
izandla, izibopho zobusha bami ezazishelela
ibala lobuso obulahlekile endaweni ethile emvelweni
izihlahla… izinyoni… umdlalo…
Umzimba, amagilebhisi amnyama welanga elivuthayo
umzimba, isitsha sengcebo yami, uyaphi?
Sesifikile isikhathi lapho ukuhwalala kugwiliza
nokukhathala kuyanginqoba ngokuphishekela ubumnyama...
(Impilo yethu iyancipha nsuku zonke.)
Ngiyafisa
Awukho umbala, awukho umzimba
lolu thando oluhambahambayo
kuhlakazekile, kuminyene,
zihlakazeke kaningi,
throbs nokho
ekulunyweni kwe-apula,
ekusikeni komkhiwane,
ku-maroon cherry,
ngenhlamvu yenqwaba.
Okuningi kuka-Aphrodite kwasakazwa emoyeni
izokwenza wome futhi uphaphatheke
komunye umlomo komunye umlomo
akukho mbala, akukho mzimba.
Balance
Ngihambile, ngikhathele futhi ngibhale okuncane
kodwa ngacabanga kakhulu ngokubuya, iminyaka engamashumi amane.
Umuntu kuyo yonke iminyaka uyingane:
ubumnene nobudlova bembeleko;
okunye kunqunyelwe ulwandle, njengogu;
ekwamukeleni kwethu kanye nenanela yezwi lethu.
iqabunga le-poplar
Waqhaqhazela waze wapheshulwa ngumoya
waqhaqhazela kakhulu ukuthi umoya awuzukumthatha
kude kakhulu
ulwandle
kude kakhulu
isiqhingi elangeni
nezandla ezibambelele ezigwedini
efa ebuka itheku
namehlo avaliwe kuma-anemones olwandle.
Ngangiqhaqhazela kakhulu
Sengimfune kakhulu
emseleni wezihlahla zikagamthilini
entwasahlobo nasekwindla
kuwo wonke amahlathi angenalutho
ngimfune kangakanani, Nkulunkulu wami.
Ukuphumula
Ukuze ucime ukoma kwabo izindebe zakho zazabalaza
befuna indawo entsha eniselwa ngenkasa ye-Eurotas
nawe ugabadela emva kwengwevu yakho, awafinyelelanga kuwe
futhi umjuluko uncibilikile ezihlokweni zamabele akho.
IStanza
Ngokushesha, phuma esandleni
ukuthi ngangikuthanda kakhulu,
wanginika indawo eyigugu ngokuhlwa,
njengejuba elimnyama.
Lungisani indlela phambi kwami,
inkungu ecashile yephupho
ngokuhwalala kwesidlo sakusihlwa esingcwele...
Ngokushesha, okusanhlamvu kwesihlabathi
unesizungu, wena owathatha konke
ingilazi yehora ebuhlungu
isimungulu, njengoba ngemva kokubona iHydra
ensimini yezulu.
Kancane kancane ilanga lizoma...
Kancane kancane futhi ilanga lizoma.
imimoya yokusa
baphephetha amagobolondo omile;
kathathu inyoni yahlaba kathathu iyodwa;
isibankwa etsheni elimhlophe
imile
ebuka utshani obushile
lapho inyoka yatshibilika khona.
Iphiko elimnyama lilandela inotshi ejulile
phezulu egumbini eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka -
libheke, lizovuleka.
Ubuhlungu bokubeletha obunqobayo.
I-Epigram
Ibala eliluhlaza okomile
ivesi elithule elingapheli,
i-fan blade yasehlobo
enqamule ukushisa okuminyene;
ibhande elalisele ezandleni zami
lapho isifiso siwela ngaphesheya kogu
-Yilokhu engingakunikeza khona, i-Persephone,
ngihawukele unginike ubuthongo behora lonke.
