Today’s poem is Shadow Play by Jessica Fisher. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.

In this episode, guest host Myka Kielbon writes… “Today’s poem speaks to someone who left marks on this earth hundreds of years ago. It asks what elemental — and metaphysical — forces moved through them, like wind playing the chimes. Just like those forces did then, and do today, and will tomorrow.”
