Replying to a comment on:

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.

Alright, I admit it, was one of them, with unraveled dreams on warm summer nights in kitchens animate with moonlight, but the rest I don't get, and maybe don't want to.
