1575: ode to the afternoon by Zeina Hashem Beck

Today’s poem is ode to the afternoon by Zeina Hashem Beck. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “‘Que Sera Sera’ is a song I remember my mother singing when I was small. Which is fitting, as the song opens with these words: ‘When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be.’ I remember part of the chorus well: ‘Que Sera Sera, whatever will be, will be, the future’s not ours to see.’” This show is supported by gifts from listeners.
