Blacker Than Black Rain

BEGINNING…
xxxxxxxxxxx

gray moon eating black,
sparrows flush red coughing rain
slums of streets decay

CONTINUING…
xxxxxxxxxxx

drenched women bleeding
broken spills of spines, alms… alms
devil torrent tears

ENDING…
xxxxxxxxxxx

spikes of bones splattered
drowned by screeching sounds silenced…
rain begets mud tombs


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Congratulations on your win with this very fine trio of haiku poems. They just may be too darkly descriptive for my taste.
