Day after day
I drink to forget
Thé wars in my house
The fallen man in the dust
...
I know you don't want me
Because you want to want me
You don't want me because you're
Sad that when we meet we talk about

She says the old ways are not for her
She has turned her back on the old gods
In the place of Mdalidephu she worships
The cellphone and the flashy car and money
...
A boy laughs in the rain
How I envy him!
He is free and he is
Uncorrupted by the world

Who has not read tanka
Has not read a death poem
The search is ceaseless
In the age of instant info

For me to love you and you
Could tell with your trained
Eye that I was longing to be
...
Kill the lingering thoughts
Of life aglow with
Success with inaction and
Still feel the worsening
...
