From The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily Eliana Benavides

Today’s poem is Pardon My Heart by Marcus Jackson.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “If I had a different kind of heart, a tougher heart, would I be able to see what’s happening in the world around me and not feel so brokenhearted? What would it be like to be able to sleep through the night, unbothered? I can’t imagine feeling less, or caring less. That’s not the heart I have.”
