Survival

Hunter was gone

when 3Gun came to

Something was wrong

that much he knew


His shirt wet and sticky

the pain pretty bad

he raised himself up

using all that he had


He leaned on the door frame

and called for his horse

From the hole in his chest

blood ran a new course


A slippery grip on his saddle

he made himself toughen

reached into the saddlebag

and pulled out a muffin


Leaning on his horse

he tore open his shirt

located the wound

and winced at the hurt


Against the wound went the muffin

the pressure made him grimace

but it stopped up the bleeding,

his blueberry muffin poultice.


His kerchief tied tight

to hold it in place

he followed the blood trail

and resumed the chase
