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. But she
only smiled.

"Naked, I bore your child
when the wolf wind howled,
when the cold moon scowled...
naked, and gladly."

"What will become of me? ―
I asked her, as she
absently stroked my hand.

Centuries later, I understand:
she whispered ― "I Am."
