grammatical question-determining the subject of a sentence
I'm having a difficult time defining the subject of this sentence:
pierde el mísmo su sangre, su entraña, en oscuros sonidos sumergida.
It initially seems as if "el mísmo" is the subject, but I am confused as to what the adjective ("submergida") refers to (as it is feminine, singular). ¡Gracias!

I believe the author was taking "poetic license" and the subject is only implied and was probably stated early in the story or poem. I think it is clear that the subject is "he".
Creo que el autor estaba usando 'la licencia poética' y el sujeto sólo se implica y probablemente se declaró temprano en la historia o poema. Creo que está claro que el sujeto es 'él'.
I believe there are two subjects: sangre and entraña. ...en oscuros sonidos sumergida is an adverbial phrase describing where/how they were lost.
It would have to refer to the blood "la sangre," as it seems to be the only feminine part of the sentence. "He himself loses his blood..." I agree it is a little confusing, probably becasue it is artistically constructed, and that means they often play with word order.
Are you sure there's no accent over the e in "el"?
Because then it might make more sense. As in, he's losing a sense of himself.
that's what i thought, but wouldn't submergida be plural (bc there are two feminine nouns)? gracias
