Lapho Indlela Iyancibilika khona
Ingathula kanjani ingane?
Ngiyacela, ngicela ungingcwabe
noHope Sandoval becula,
“Ekuthuleni”
njengomculi weMazzy Star,
njengoba umhlaba uba yinqaba ngokwengeziwe.
Angathula kanjani umuntu wesilisa?
Ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga, ungizwa
ngalawa magama kuphela,
amazwi ami, akekho umculi odumile,
mina nje, ngithi le migqa,
umhlaba nje ungayinaki imbongi.
Kusemini manje, ngakho-ke izinkulumo zasemini,
phakathi kwawo wonke amazwi oBusika
efakwe lapho kubanda khona akuyona into enonya,
kodwa lapho ngikhumbula leyo ngane
ukucela okuncane lapho kuncane kakhulu
Ngiyakuthanda ukuthi angazi kangakanani,
Angifuni ukwazi.
Kwenziwe ngamandla amagatsha
ukhuphuka ngomgwaqo
ngemilenze ephelele, udlala wena
ngezintambo namandla
kwesokunxele kuya engomeni uyazi ngiyazi.
Lowo osele lapho ipeni lihleli khona, yebo,
ngale ekhabetheni olivikelayo
lapho ingane nendoda ihleke khona
kaninginingi ngoba impilo inika
kunjalo, unikeza ngamunye kancane
lokukhanya kwemini lobumnyama.
Okuthile umuntu azokuthola
phakathi kwenkundla
lapho iqhwa likhukhuleka ngaphezu kwezinyathelo zakudala.
Indlela encibilikayo yakho konke ukuhlela
ukushiya amakhaya ehlaselwa ngamabhomu
noma baqambe amanga, bathathwe ezinganeni zabo
bakholelwa ukuthi iCanada ingasiza ukukhulisa,
kungasiza ukufika ngakolunye uhlangothi
lapho kutholakala isiqeshana somhlabathi ocacile.
Alikho iqhwa, akukho moya, akukho kuphikisa
kubo ngethemba nje
ukuma ungasheleli
noma isiphi isifiso sokuba bawe.
