Ndandiye phezulu eluphahleni ndicazulula izinto
kwaye ndisiva yonke indlela inyuka kwi-Attic

ndikude phezulu eluphahleni kwaye ndibava
ngathi bakwigumbi elinye endikhe ndasebenza

kwaye ndiza kuba mnandi
Yiyo i-narcissus emsulwa kwaye ndiyagula

kwabazali bam kuba baphumelele 'Abanyusi
umvuzo wabo benza imali eninzi yokuhlala
kule ndlu kodwa abandithandi
kwaye bayazingca ngemali yabo
kwaye banobukrwada kwaye
banobuqili benkolo
