The needling and tongue-tying, the sensible shoes
When she was born barefoot, and all the woods knows it.

I love, love, love this and really identify with it! There's that tension between traditional, stifling 'culture', the expectations imposed upon us, and the rawness of what your speaker desires to be, closer to her own nature, primal. Constraint versus wildness, rawness.

I love how feverous it is, giving a sneak peak into your own intense and unapologetic (mostly) desires, or at least the speakers, as if there's much of a difference between them. There's that shameful yet rebellious cycle - the idea of sinning versus the a kind of freedom that can be found in the 'witching hour' - the dark night that woman often stretch out in because the daylight is full of judging eyes.

Night, yin, women, soft - day, yang, masculine, judging, hard.
