epistrophy 

for mjumbe roy brooks


there is no such world
as that which exists
in books, or such con-

tractions & expansions
as we may devise
for ourselves,

out of the endless chaos
of real life, nothing
is so ordered

as we would make it,
mere trophies
of epistemology

brought back from the battle
to make sense out of something
which makes no sense

whatsoever
except what registration
of feeling & experience

we can make in song
& keep singing it like monk
all life long
