Joan of Arc

I wanted to just play my silly-girl part,
But I'm heavy with visions, old from the start;
I wanted kisses, dresses, a canopy bed--
But I am holy and lonely Joan instead.

I hear voices, which are my poems.
I see saints, which are my better impulses.

I have my horse, whose soft brown nostrils flare,
My sword and my cross and my short-shorn hair;
The sun bakes down, my saddle creaks
And it goes on like this for weeks...and weeks.

I know the night, which is my sister.
I know the want for a woman, which is my sentence.

What can anyone do to me, or do for me?
They've already reduced me to smoke and glory;
But inside my armor, I've re-formed and I sear
And I'll smoulder like this for years...and years.

I love the high grass and the red-winged blackbird.
I long for a French girl and la fin de la guerre.

I only wanted some charm and some looks,
Never my face in old history books;
No statue all pigeon-shit, stood in the park,
Not this lonely and burning sweet bitch Joan of Arc.

The voices you hear become your poetry and your poetry is like a mirror for you to hold and question. To the contrary, Joan was guided by her visions, driven to fulfill them. And in less than two short years only the legend and ashes remained.

You have created something both profound and compelling and while none of us aspire to become statues (with sweet green icing flowing down) who can resist the innocent and utterly feminine French girl who lingers in our dreams???

Hugs,

I just love a woman in shining armor, Bright!
