Vestry’s Underbelly

Saint Paul, 16 April 2005

In the vestry’s underbelly

Vibratos of dominos vobiscum

Obscure allegory with fuming censers

Wherein the unimaginative abide

In the vestry’s underbelly

Shrill shortcomings in

Illustrious adornment

Revered by bankrupt supplicants

In the vestry’s underbelly

Prescribed paeans of praise

Behold black leather missals

Notching betrayal's betterment

In the vestry’s underbelly

Depraved bottomless erections

Cloak silken vestments and

Carouse with cassocked celebrants
