Guardrails
And cold steel eyes
The road shot north along the east coast
the sunset devoid of color
i am leaving you she said
cold then he gripped the wheel
silence and steel eyes
jerk the car left
through the rails
to the
cliff

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

Oh my. That's one way to end it.
Terribly tragic and very well written!
A wow work.
"I'm leaving you", three words that no one wants to hear. Loved your poem!
Oh no! But what a great scene in a nonet. "Silence and steel eyes" - great sibilance foreshadowing his evil sly intent.
