1006: Something Sweet
Today’s poem is Something Sweet by Hannah Lowe. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.
In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s poem, a sonnet, holds the truth that the world is capable of awakening us out of our petrified states. We can be charmed back into our bodies and repaired, so that we feel again, sometimes acutely, the sweetness of our existence more than the hostile and profane.”
