LET IT COME DOWN — by Steve Nadis
The snow is really coming down right now–our first big storm of the winter. The expression, “Let It Come Down,” keeps popping into my head. But that’s not the image I really want to have in mind here on this beautiful evening, because in the Paul Bowles’ novel of the same name a man in the grip of narcotic-induced psychosis wailed on his hammer, driving a nail through the ear of another man. So I say, as the wondrous white flakes fill the sky, let it come down, though not in the way Paul Bowles wrote it.
