I sat at Hypatia's sandal feet
while she expounded upon
the constellations; starry sky
filled w/ her sisters; I sat at
Sappho's dusty bare soles as
she taught recitation to the
children of ******; I was at
Cleopatra's ringed tan toes
while she plotted to conquer
the world; Brunhilde's shod
peds chained while she sang
of Asgard's fiery downfall
