Ke nna kgopana mmona 'sedi mokakeng wa kgomo e hlaba Letsoalo la mma fefera o mphe leselo bana ba letše ka tlala maleng.

Ke magoga ka boima mo hwetša mokwana wa bophelo marageng, ka ge bo-phiri go phela ba šapo le thata, ngwana e motona kabelwa manong. Gape mogale, nnete yena o tšwa maroleng.

Letter? Yes, a letter!
captured thoughts on paper
words of comfort
dabbled with only ink
...

Phlegmatically she bashed my kernel
Kismet perforates my destitute epitome
As Peri slams and impedes my bounce
...

Beauty...
what a word
what an inspiration
what a tool for the wiser
...

in the silence of my brain
in the secret chambers of my chest
in the numbness of my toes
my soul questions the eerie silence of the color BLUE
...
