As he looks up at us
with his fear glazed eyes
does he picture us buzzards
circling round his bed
waiting patiently
for his death and his bones?

Are the buzzards speaking in this poem?
No it's basically about a man who is speaking who's brother is dying. So the dying brother sees his mother and brother as buzzards.
Also what language is used in this poem, like slang, formal etc?
No just his mother his brother
who could do nothing for him
when he sat with the living
and can do nothing now
as he crawls toward death
That's the rest of the poem
who could do nothing for him
when he sat with the living
and can do nothing now
as he crawls toward death
That's the rest of the poem
You'd have to consider the WHOLE poem, not just a few lines in it.
It's not written in slang.
