UJaaka umlobi
Nokuthula Bernelee Dyonase
Zablon Alex Nguku
isiXhosa
NguJaaka lo, umlobi waseNeminya.
Uloba kumlambo iNayile.
Unesikhephe, umnatha negwegwe.
Uvuka ekuseni rhoqo ukuze abambe intlanzi yaseNayile.
Ngentsimbi yeshumi, uthengisa iintlanzi emarikeni eJunja.
Kwenzeke ntoni, Jakaa? Ibalekile intlanzi? Unxunguphele.
"Izinto azihambi kakuhle namhlanje. Umoya waseNayile awundivumeli ndilobe. Enye intlanzi imke negwegwe lam."
"Kodwa ndinethemba lokuba kuzobangcono ngomso, ngoba ndithenge igwegwe elitsha."
