Theme: Animals - B for Buffalo
an ox-pecker perched gingerly mindful
not to unsettle on a soulmate
having a nose area a larder of live goodies
such is the quiet endeavor in acts
of cooperation in the animal world
the heavy-set buffalo unperturbed
maligned a little surveying the scene
perhaps with designs to turn itself
into a martyr of sorts fighting
for a cause in friendly relationships
it provides a respite to review its
thoughts without panting in excitement
with negligible distractions to both
For the A to Z Challenge: B

I've seen bison in places like Yellowstone National Park. They are typically called buffalo, but I believe that designation is inaccurate. I guess they're all related though.
