The invisible Bison of South Manchester

The invisible Bison of South Manchester
Fleet footed, flanks fragrant,
Pounding the dust Trail of the A6
Dead set for the oasis

The Invisible Bison of South Manchester
charging from the Arndale wreckage
nostrils flared, tense,
eager for water

While weak beasts,
left lagging through Levenshulme
are torn to struggling pieces by Invisible
Hyenas in Stockport precinct

The massed bulk of Bison
placed majestic on lakes edge
are making love, slow graceful
softly lowing

Shall we run with this herd,
bisonlike, steely, invisible.
vapour clouds in neon air,
dead set for the shoals, freed?
