Zama wapamwanya!
Jane Mulenga and Mary Ng'ambi
Vusi Malindi
Umulumbu wangu umudono okaba polambalala.
Nkhunyamuka nulubunju nongwa yakuti ndiwapamwanya.
Une yone nkhwingisya izuba munyumba.
"Uwe yowe nthondwa yangu ya nulubunju," ikuyoba Mama.
Nkhwoga nemwene isiku lililyosa, ntholonda ubutuli.
Nthotila misi mathalalano, pamo sopo wa bululu yuyo osuka myenda.
Mama ikunkhumbusha, "Unkhibwa a mino."
Nkhwamula, "Unkhibwa, une!"
Bo namala ukusukusula, nkhumponya umbuya Munyambala nu Nasenge.
Nkhubalondela isiku ilinunu.
Sona nkhwivwalika nimwene.
"Yone mukulumba nosi, Mama," nkhuyoba.
Ninkhigala ma bitani gangu kangi nukupinya ingoye shasapato shangu.
Nkhuketekesha ukuti mulumbu wangu asimanye shosa isi shubombiwa kusukulu.
Mu kalasi nkhwiyula munjila shosa.
Nkhubomba finthu fyosa finunu siku lililyosa.
Loli ichi niganile ukubomba fiyo ko kwangala kangi nkhwangala!
