Puritans (Free verse) by zodiac
A windy warm summer night like this is
no good for prohibition -
it unravels the dreams of Christian
women (rungs
on a rope-ladder, a scarecrow hung
in a broom-closet) and pulls
them in their formidable night-dresses
out into quiet hallways, to kitchens
animate with moonlight, stirs their tongues
on the cool white skin in the sugar-bowl,
long and tenderly as greedy kisses.
