Buffalo Ghosts

If you want to see a buffalo 

Be quiet 

Check your heels

Go south and west not so far 

If you walk around here chances are

Your standing on their bones

Real deep down are bones from buffalo who died of old age

Whose bodies nourished the ground

As they fell into an eternal sleep 

Wrapped in the earths embrace 

But closest to your souls 

Are the buffalo the “American” killed

With evil in his heart 

They died with the fright of the human possibilities 

If you want to see a buffalo 

Be quiet
