Fiery Finish

by Gary Sheinoha

Could’ve,
should’ve been
a sin the way she
cremated both our
hearts, set each
ablaze, then

was only one
of us burned,
while the other
warmed herself

G.A. Scheinoha is a worn out literary lion who the hyenas haven’t brought down yet. Widely published in the small press, he now dabbles in guerrilla journalism on Facebook, a column for his hometown paper, The Campbellsport News but remains a poet after writing more than 2000 in forty years.
