Heartbeats Wounded Soldier-

Out of my body profusely worn Pours out assuming blood flows hot Burst of a wounded second enemy showering bits of ammo To and fro outward burst of a wound second triage Pounding breath he's a wounded soldier off in a war He didn't order heart is beating blood is flowing Lying on the ground wounds deep and hollow Pangs of Joy bleeds through the morrow Shadow sweats rolling down his head to his chest Breath hollow thump thump thump muscle pumps Blood flowing through the veins out the wounds Bleeding out yet living on wounded bloodstep flows Been shot 4/25/21 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
