Kevin Bezner – Bison, Montana
Click Here To Take Action To Protect The Last Wild Herd Of Buffalo!!!
Buffalo, people
call them, shaggy
beasts shaking
heads at flies, sun
on backs, chewing
grass, saliva
stringing from mouths, slowly
stepping to water troughs. These few
hundreds once
millions, the land theirs. Grasses
bend to wind, dust
from rolling
bison, tourists roll
down windows, lean
far out of cars for
pictures, no fear from
this distance,
not even when one takes to hoof
to stare them down. Why
fear such dusty
creatures, dead to them
these many years–they were told,
“Take a trip
into history, and before
you leave for home
stop to eat
the magnificent flesh
of the prairie’s king.”
