Place Du vieux-Marché, Rouen, France. A poem for st. joan of arc.

A poem written by Clay


The virgin breast with lilies white

For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every constellation of the stars

She is the purest embossing on the shield of France

Armed with only her prayers on this day

She moves meekly along the square

Face paler than the ivory crowning her kings Chăteu de chinen.

She doesnt bear her usual armor-clad form

Instead, she wears an unfamiliar uniform that showcases the young girl she

truly is.

Daughter of god remember your childhood days

You tended only to weak lambs...

You reach into the sky and pull down a phonograph yet the people fiddle while

Rome burns.

Your hands are as clean as air and that's worth repeating but they are mad.

The smoke blew away and before her was shown an elaborate kingdom.

He sees her wince, he sees her cry

the glory in her eye

He greets her sitting on his low wooden throne, Relaying the people's last act

of gratitude and rewarding her with a formless fiery crown

More radiant, more beautiful than at your King's coronation.

The bright red flames take her body as an exchange to show the reflection of

eternal glory

Sacrificing her body to the flames

She heard the voices of the blessed.

A baby dove flies up above the crowd and looks into the zenith

And there she found her goal; a prayer loud enough to repent all their souls.


Daughter of god forgive us

Joan, you are my only hope

Come down to save us

Come down to save me

Come and save her a second time.
