Creeping Dresses

In nine short lines, you create a sense of foreboding horror, which us centered around the fifth and sixth lines. There, the poem defines the place as "an eerie loveland," and describes the "holy people" who "tear earth's womb." Within the context of the poem, those otherwise ordinary phrases become wildly charged with an implicit horror which resonates from them through the entire poem. Even in a second reading, the horror does not diminish.
Enjoy effulgent days, and exquisite nights,
unto the exultations of Heaven.-Starward
