kwenzekani

isithupha sami sibhuza ngaphezu kokukhanya
chofoza kusihloko ngemuva kwesihloko
igama elingukhiye, liphrintiwe ngokugqamile
izimpawu zokushaya, izimpawu zombuzo, kodwa ungalokothi uqiniseke
futhi nokho isiqiniseko
kungakhathazi futhi kuyiqiniso
sina futhi lapho

i-intanethi igcwele ngakho
kusukela ekuhlekisweni kwezindaba
mayelana nosizi nentukuthelo
mayelana nokwesaba nokuphikisana
izindaba ezimayelana nemvula
nezindonga zomlilo kuphi
wayesaphila
hhayi ithoni yokufa ngethoni

ngicela uhambe, kwenzenjani?
kahle, konke, noma cha?
okwaziyo okulungile njengamanje
mhlawumbe yilokho kuphela
mhlawumbe akulutho

kodwa kuthiwani uma kuphela usuku
lapho ukukhanya kucima ngokuphelele
kepha inhlansi yeqiniso yayikhona
ngubani-ke owususile
nokuthi ubani obhekele lokho
lapho bonke besho
Ngathi yebo

lapho othile ethi
lokhu akukuhle
ke akunandaba
noma ngabe abaningi bathi
ngicela usize
yini engingayenza lapho

Nginguye nje
yedwa phakathi kwabaningi
futhi kwesinye isikhathi kuzwakala njengokuningi
kuningi okumele ukwenze
ukubona
ukulalela
ukukholwa

futhi kuthiwani uma kungekho okulungile?
lapho kungekho lutho olwaluyiqiniso empeleni
intambo nje
ngisho concatenation
yemibono nezinkolelo
kodwa wenze noma kunjalo
yini esingayikholelwa lapho
okulungile empeleni

abaningi bathi
ngisho kubhaliwe
kepha kwakuqabukela kusho
amazwi okucabanga nokuqonda
wesibindi namandla

ukuthi kusho ukuthini kuzo
uma ekugcineni akukho okulungile
kepha konke kubonakala kubalulekile
lapho uzamcolo wezindaba
engantengantengi, engenanembeza
njengegagasi
iyawa esibukweni

yini inani ezintweni
lokho kwenzeka kude
kude neqiniso lakho uqobo
kubonakala kungenangqondo, kungenalutho nhlobo
futhi kunjalo ngokoqobo futhi lapho
ngoba empeleni kuphela
ukuhlanganisa ndawonye nokufaka iketanga
yakho konke kukhona

isithupha sami siyadlula
mayelana nengilazi nokukhanya
ize icime
nokunye okuningi naye
yonke imibono ingeyami
zilungile futhi zibalulekile
futhi zibalulekile njalo

kepha kuphela uma ezinye zisebenza futhi
okusho ngenjabulo ukuphika ukusebenza kwazo
ngubani ongalungile futhi waqamba amanga
cwilile neqiniso ligobile

kepha mhlawumbe akukho okungamanga
mhlawumbe kuzobonakala njengoba kunjalo manje
ezihlokweni ezinkulu ngemuva kwezindaba ezinkulu
igama elingukhiye, liphrintiwe ngokugqamile
izimpawu zokushaya, izimpawu zombuzo, kodwa ungalokothi uqiniseke
futhi nokho isiqiniseko
kungakhathazi futhi kuyiqiniso
sina futhi lapho

hamba ngicela, kusho abadala
hamba ngicela, intsha iphelelwe yithemba
