Gedicht
Isabella Motadinyane
Work Shire
I ran awayskipping the border
and met a man
who said Yorkshire
England is luxury
job seekers
go for it
small heaven
identify yourself
with Yorkshire
stop laziness
money buys no neatness
men at Tsitsikama
say goodbye to your blankets
in Jo’burg
when you are told to come tomorrow

Kana ka sega phefoka ralla dinaga

banna ba kwa Tsetse Tsitsi
mesong ba sadisa dikobo
