14,035. NO, I ALREADY BLED ON THE FIELD

NO, I ALREADY BLED 
ON THE FIELD 
I don't know why I ever joined this
Johnney Reb outfit. I could have
stayed in Carolina with Ella Jane 
and stayed happy plugging holes.
-
My spirit wreaks havoc with my
heart, and I think that's my lower
jaw on the ground. I'm hurting like
a sluice in a gully, but Death is
no stranger to me. 
-
No stranger 'than' me, either. My
history is very short: I was born
in a July I hardly remember, and
at 17 I took this shot to the face
on a field I don't know of.
