A Harlot's Fire

An aging streetwalker, she
   A hell-and-damnation preacher, he
      Met at death's door, unexpectedly

His life she saved, as hers expired
   Ministerial brimstone melted
      ~ by a harlot's fire

Gawd, Gershon, what a movie this would make. "Savior Strumpet" coming soon to a theater near you. Hahaha!
