Mhlazana nibuyela emanzini (I)

“I am the daughter of the river

and to the water I shall return”

- Mahtem Shiferraw

niyosibona sesiza nganeno

ses’phethe isiqunga esingakacwiliswa kulelo sango eniyongena kulo,

ses’phethe umqulo wemphepho omhlophe qwa esiyonimukelisa ngawo

sinibone nani senisondela kuthina senizomukela izipho zenu,

izipho zenu ezilandwe ekujuleni kwalamanzi

senizokhangeziswa konke okuyoniphilisa nakho konke okuyosiphilisa nathi
