Transfusion
Life dripping,
into a 20 gauge or larger
preferably above the wrist,
at 150 milliliter an hour,
unless CHF demands less.
Vitals initial, at five, and hourly.
H and H an hour after,
and in the morning.
Pink cheeks and vitality.
All due to a donor
who took the time,
to spend an hour
saving someone
they'll never meet.
Selflessness transfused.
