Iingelosi kufuneka zidideke yimfazwe.
Omabini amacala athandazela ukukhuselwa,
Ukanti umntu usoloko esiba buhlungu.
Umntu uyafa.
Umntu ukhala kakhulu
baphulukana nobume babo bamanzi.
Iingelosi kufuneka zidideke yimfazwe.
Banganceda bani?
Bangacacisa bani?
Inceba kabani abayiphosa kwabangenanceba?
Akukho sikhalo sithobekileyo esinokuviwa.
Akukho ntlungu zingenakuviwa.
Konke kucacile kwiingelosi
ngaphandle kwemfazwe.
Ukuvuka kwam kule nyaniso,
bekusuka ephupheni ebendinalo phezolo.
Ndabona iingelosi ezimbini zincokola endle
Imimoya yabantwana inyuka njengomsi wesilivere.
Iingelosi zazisilwa zodwa
leliphi icala ebelilungile,
kwaye kwakungalunganga.
Ngubani owaqala ingxabano?
Ngequbuliso, iingelosi zaphola
njengependulum emisiweyo,
Baphalaza imfesane yabo
ukuya kumsi onyukayo
yemiphefumlo ethwele i-watermark yemfazwe.
Bajikela kum ngalo mehlo
kwilayibrari kaThixo,
onke amaqhekeza awile
bakhuliswa ngazwinye,
lungene njengomphefumlo
amadangatye kwiziko elingcwele.
Akukho nto emfazweni etshabalalayo,
kodwa inkohliso yokwahlula.
Ndiyivile lento ithethwe ngokucacileyo ndinokwazi kuphela
yibhale phantsi njengokutyikitywa komgunyathi.
Ndiyayikhumbula imfesane,
zeentaba, ezilinganiselwe iphela.
Ndicinga ukuba i-fleck encinci isabambelela kum,
njengemisonto ye-gossamer
kwiwebhu yesigcawu.
Kwaye ngoku, xa ndicinga ngemfazwe,
Ndiyicofa le misonto kwindalo iphela,
Ndiyathemba ukuba banamathela kwabanye njengoko benzayo kum.
Ukunitha iingelosi kunye nezilwanyana
kwimfesane yobabalo lwemfesane.
I-reticulum yekhaya lethu eliya esibhakabhakeni.
