It was a harvest. We were the harvesters.”* – Frank H. Mayer *The Buffalo Harvest* You will need: a soft cloth linseed oil car wax an air canister. You will need buffalo horns. Buffalo were shot for sport, men hanging out train car windows. A Kiowa woman remembered a pile of bones as tall as a man and a mile long, ready to ship to eastern markets. They say the buffalo used to block the tracks a thousand strong. That once an impatient conductor fired at a herd. They stampeded, derailed his train. So, wipe the horns of dust and debris. Apply linseed oil. Let it soak. Apply car wax with your fingertips in a circular motion. Finish by dusting with compressed air. -- RealPoetik www.realpoetik.club -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
