~ Sat A Vicar ~
This particular night I did dream
Of a palace and its tower's sway
I am unseen, but have a strong sense of me
Amid a gala where Mozart'sΒ music did play
Sat a Vicar with a reddish gaze
The dream trampled, ominous, as hated churches
Yet this palace was adorned with a mostly holy array
With all its guests gossiping and whispering worship
TheΒ feeling of despotism, coyly, conveyed
Sat a Vicar with a reddish gaze
Four masked guards in the palace tower
Three British dancers performed as if ballet
Two grandfather clocks faced the hour
One got the feeling this dream was staged
Sat a Vicar with a reddish gaze
I hate myself, from my knees I prayed
In a searing sweat, I did awake
I reached a towel to dry my face
In the corner, on a chair, of leather and lace
Sat a Vicar,
I recalled,
From another time,
Another place....
