The American Bison
by TD Euwaite
Hard pounded ground
The herd consumes Montana
Fifty million hooves
Shake the Earth
Grass chewed blade to root
Wisconsin to Nebraska
Saplings don’t live to become majestic
The manure trail is next year’s graze
Scent is too meager a word
The smell precedes the herd
…by hundreds of miles
Predators take the weak
While the other twelve million sleep
