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
