THE VIRGINITY OF JOAN OF ARC

THE VIRGINITY OF JOAN OF ARC

I am given a private audience with the accused
immediately upon her capture.
Such is my level of power
in this day and age.
I cruelly inform her of her fate,
that she will be burnt alive
though just recently
her young teenage flesh was leader,
general, of an army.

She is professed to be a virgin prophet.
I beat her mercilessly.
I rape her virginity.
I feed her her final meal.
