Dying For You To Live Poem by Martin Lochner

Dying For You To Live



straining fearing body
screaming preservation

but hurling itself anyway
taking the full blast

Shrapnel shaving and poking
at the flesh

red pulp champagne
overflowing staining
cotton twine guts

the rare uncalled act
to sacrifice

to die for your mate

it’s a matter of conscience
quickening the spirit

embracing the loss
dying with a salvation smile
