dem bones done walkin’

“The Bone Pickers”by Nick Eggenhofer, 1964 Bleached buffalo bones used for fertilizer and bone china. Briscoe Museum of Western Art.

dry bone collectors

follow slaughter of bison

bleached white on prairie

buffaloed

 

There once was a bison named Buck

who jumped in the back of a truck;

he enjoyed scenic ride

until engine died

now bison and driver are stuck.
