Dinas coll

by Robert Chandler

Ni fyddant yn cael ysgariad oddi wrthym ni neu ni fyddant yn rhedeg i ffwrdd o gartref gyda'n ffrind gorau. Ni fyddant yn dringo allan o'r croen i'n cael ni. Nid ydynt yn cynnig atebion cyflym i ni a chasgliadau cyflym. Nid ydynt yn dibynnu ar ymddygiad pobl eraill, o dan amgylchiadau a hwyliau hudolol. Nid yw egwyddorion yn marw. Nid ydynt yn diflannu y diwrnod canlynol. Nid ydynt yn llosgi yn y tân, nid ydynt yn marw yng nghanol daeargrynfeydd, ni ellir eu dwyn oddi wrthym ni.
