Izinkondlo eziyi-5
Umzimba wami
Umzimba wami ufana nesaka elinezintambo ezibomvu
Igumbi limnyama, amehlo ami ayakhazimula kancane
Ngiyesaba ukusukuma, ngizizwa ngaphakathi
Okuthile okuthambile, okubi, okuhambayo.
Sengiyenyanye le nyama iminyaka
Okumboza amathambo ami. Engaphezulu kwe-adipose,
Ukuzwela ebuhlungwini, isiponji esincane;
Ngaphansi kancane, isitho siyaqina.
Ngiyakuzonda, Jesu Kristu, ngokunginika umzimba
Abangane bayanyamalala, konke kuyabaleka, ngokushesha,
Iminyaka idlula, bayanyamalala, futhi lutho ukuvuka,
Angifuni ukuphila nokufa kuyangethusa
Ukuqhekeka
Ukunganyakazi, ukuthula okungenakulinganiswa,
Ngikhona. Ngingedwa. Uma bengishaya, ngiyanyakaza.
Ngizama ukuvikela into ebomvu neyopha
Umhlaba uyisiphithiphithi esiqondile futhi esingaxoleli.
Kukhona abantu abaseduze, ngiyezwa ukuthi bayaphefumula
Futhi izinyathelo zayo zemishini zinqamula ku-trellis.
Kodwa-ke, ngibuzwile ubuhlungu nentukuthelo;
Asondele kimi, asondele kakhulu, indoda engaboni iyabubula.
Ngisinde isikhathi eside. Kuyahlekisa lokho.
Ngikhumbula kahle izikhathi zethemba
Futhi ngikhumbula ngiseyingane ngisemncane
Kepha ngicabanga ukuthi le yindima yami yokugcina.
Uyazi? Ngikubonile kucacile kusuka kusekhondi yokuqala,
Kwakubanda kancane futhi ngangijuluka ngovalo
Ibhuloho beliphukile, bekuyihora lesikhombisa
Ukuqhekeka kwakukhona, kuthule futhi kujulile.
Impilo yalutho
Ngangivele ngizizwe sengimdala ngemuva nje kokuzalwa;
Abanye balwa, bafisa, babubula;
Kimi angizwanga lutho ngaphandle kokulangazelela okungacacile.
Angikaze ngibe nento efana nobuntwana.
Ekujuleni kwamahlathi athile, kukhaphethi wobulembu,
Iziqu zezihlahla ezinengekayo zisinda emaqabungeni azo;
Bazungeze isimo sefomu lokulila;
Isikhunta sichuma esikhunjeni sakhe esimnyama nesingcolile.
Angikaze ngikhonze noma yini noma omunye umuntu;
Isihawu. Uphila kabi uma kungenxa yakho.
Ukunyakaza okuncane kuyinkinga,
Uzizwa ungaphathekile kahle kodwa ube ubalulekile.
Uhamba ngokungacaci, njengesinambuzane esincane.
Awuseyilutho, kepha usunesikhathi esibi kanjani!
Uphatha uhlobo lwakwalasha
Isho futhi iyaphatheka, iyahlekisa kancane.
Uyeka ukubona ukufa njengento ebulalayo;
Ngezikhathi ezithile uyahleka; ikakhulukazi ekuqaleni;
Uzama ize ukwamukela ukwedelelwa.
Bese wemukela konke, nokufa kwenza okunye.
Isikhathi eside kangaka
Kukhona njalo idolobha, elinemikhondo yezimbongi
Ukuthi phakathi kwezindonga zayo bawele ikusasa labo
Amanzi yonke indawo, izinkumbulo ziyabubula
Amagama abantu, amagama amadolobha, ukukhohlwa.
Futhi njalo indaba endala efanayo iqala futhi,
Hlehlisa ama-horizons namagumbi okubhucungwa
Kucatshangelwa ukuba wedwa, indawo ehloniphayo,
Kukhona, nokho, abantu abakhona futhi abadansayo.
Bangabantu bolunye uhlobo, abantu bolunye uhlanga,
Sidansa siphakamise umdanso ononya
Futhi, sinabangani abambalwa, sinezulu,
Nesicelo esingapheli sezikhala;
Isikhathi, isikhathi esidala, esihlela ukuziphindiselela,
Amahemuhemu angaqinisekile okuphila adlulayo
Umhlola womoya, ukuvuza kwamanzi
Futhi igumbi eliphuzi lapho ukufa kuqhubekela khona.
Akukhona lokho…
Akukhona lokho. Ngizama ukugcina umzimba wami usesimweni esihle. Mhlawumbe ufile, angazi. Kukhona okufanele kwenziwe engingakwenzi. Abangifundisanga. Kulo nyaka sengikhulile kakhulu. Ngibheme osikilidi abayizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili. Ikhanda lami selibuhlungu kaningi. Nokho kufanele kube nendlela yokuphila; into engekho ezincwadini. Kukhona abantu, kukhona abalingiswa; kepha unyaka nonyaka angibazi neze ubuso.
Angimhloniphi umuntu; nokho, ngiyamhalela.
