Analysis of Twice I Saw the Fire
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
Twice I Saw the Fire
Twice I saw the fire, burning a rare kind;
Incendiary thoughts from actions of same mind.
No burning bush, nothing awaiting two souls;
Leaving progenitors with just two aching holes.
Three time’s a charm,
Who knew the given harm ?
