Joan of Arc

The crackling flames that scorched her flesh and choking, blinding clouds of smoke were not enough to sway her faith as, bound, she died upon the coke. for Isaiah's contest

Like Jesus, she was in touch with God. May that have been her comfort. Amen. You have intensely described what most can't even bear to think. Good luck in the contest jack.

Coke is carbon ash. At least that's what I deduced from my search. :)

Is a coke like a stake or something? New word for me. VERY good SHORT poem, you are master at these!
