Let It Snow

Evil lies in darkness Tongue of a viper A 9mm Glock Stop you like a clock A break in the day Death and decay A hazy reality Leaves you blue And green The color of a loon Chicken soup Carrots and peas Mama can’t save you now You made the deal In a back alley And it was for real No video game You can walk away from And sleep in your bed You’re living the dream In techno color My evil brother So slide on in your sled For the man is calling And you can’t say no To all that Colombian blow It’s Christmas somewhere So let it snow, let it snow.

Well what can I say, a little marching power to make the holidays more tolerable. ~Kilmer

Damn! So many great lines in this one. If I were to choose a favorite one it would be "You’re living the dream In techno color My evil brother". Your last lines are great, as always :)

Thanks Karen, I think I watch to many cop shows (when I watch TV which isn't very often) so it creeps into my mind. thanks for the comments. Kilmer

Dear Stephen My how you weave a poetic tale. Your use of chicken soup and veggies is just perfect in describing of what you speak (or something like that). "Slide in on your sled" portrays Christmas lost to a lost junkie to the hilt. Amazing writing. love, Kathy

Kathryn, Thanks for catching the chicken soup line it was meant to convey that people have family they just need to learn how to use it. thanks for all your comments, I am blown away. Kilmer

Hello Stephen, wow..what a dwelling evil spell around this sheet of snow... I love your work.. I think you are amazing when it comes to imagery,.. At first I followed the viper, then the comfort words of relaxing... raw.. I love the explicit you write.. I love it. always~ Linda
