warrior one

warrior:
Americans are
the dogs, fish, camels, and serpents
lead the way, catwalker
cat pose canny future
   you can learn the scope of fame

she's pacing Florence, In June
good-humoredly—
—giggling Croatian: 'Are you flat gold?'
register the wedding
roosting black,
bird with        forthcoming edge, extraordinary beauty

to oneself, her properties— a flair, reciprocating
on a beach for Eternity
elements gamely transformed into infancy
the plight of the American girls
'there are these moments'
cook recipes, of medicine
a lung-cancer
the rationality of breathing
