My Best Face

The City of Rouen, France Speaks:
My Jeanne d’Arc Best Face
Here
where Jeanne d'Arc
found
death
where Monet turned color
loose
from
the Church in
these streets
where
Jeanne
looked her
last looks
at
cowed faces
in
brown-framed windows
I see
no signs of
wrenching
breath
just tours and a modern church
mocking
the only spot
alive.
Readers: Please note I placed the words on certain spots on the page reflecting the way the spoken poem would sound. Unfortunately, the final version I look at for editing moves all lines to the left margin. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
