At the Feet of the Goddess

At the Feet of the Goddess by Michael R. Burch “What will you conceive in me?”— I asked her.

Centuries later, I understand: she whispered—“I Am.” Published by Romantics Quarterly (the first poem in the first issue), Penny Dreadful, Unlikely Stories, Underground Poets, Poetically Speaking, Poetry Life & Times, Little Brown Poetry.
