Conjure philosophy

smile then
         at
what scent promises you,
your future is prophecy
                  un

              -folding into layered praise
                  prize of the music’s
               rhythm-hand gathering—
                                  to

“now” is to explain
secrets of belly’s
  motive… escaped
            science
    travels to warn

            what warms ahead among
              noon’s ardent hands, a
            friction of rejuvenated
                    heat

readying what cannot
  hold its breath, a
     technique to camouflage
                  bone
                                   but with scent it

Conjure philosophy
