Rains Coming by Fran Barrault




Straight barren lines
become askew in the wind,
a zig-zag of light dances,
three crows whirl,

the cloud, hanging heavy
with a pregnancy of rain
struggles with it's
unborn downpour.

There will be no escape from
the soot-black sounds of the
splatters stampeding
the riotous excesses of grass.

Earth creatures
tunnel into hiding
as the vacuum of the
apocalypse descends.
Rains Coming (Partial) by Fran Barrault


 
God's Vomit

    poem by Joseph Carcel
    art by Fran Barrault


The locusts

two miles spanning
and darken half

the country

as they flew

the great wall itself winged

The wheat became locust

gone the corn
the rye
they seemed to swallow even light

to hide the sand the starving
sought
for feed

locusts swollen thick
as baby's fist with ceaseless feeding

a billion beating diaphanous wings
smashed to pulp

the horses and men

who balked
or froze at
their charred omen bones


Locusts' hum

millenia
of god-absorbed mantras
vomited
back

deafen
