Tim Ryerson Poet Senryu

The Last Music

they heard the faint strains
of 'Amazing Grace' playing
on Scottish bagpipes

static and then buzz
a new pod victim had left
a radio on...

***Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Re-make - 1978)

Andrea Dietrich February 7, 2014 at 8:54 PM oooh, it's eerie!! I love movies like that and yes, I HAVE seen Last of the Mohicans, the one starring that fabulous actor, can't think of his name now but he is an Oscar winner I think. The ending of that movie. Wow.
