Nette Onclaud Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Body Snatchers

ghouls lurk in shadows

   raking flesh of bloody lizards…

      evening's pulse throbs



beware, in moon’s hour

    kids scream through haze of barbed wires…

      doorknob’s lock  screeches


costumes rip on lanes

     as body snatchers appear

      on Hallow's death trap.
