HeyJaredPoems by Jonna
This is a space for poetry that lingers. I’m Jonna – poet, listener, and seeker of language that holds what’s hard to name. Here, I share poems shaped by memory, silence, nature, time, dreams, and the quiet ache of being human.

September, Take What I No Longer Need (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedSeptember, take what I no longer need. Beads of glass, made smooth by the sea. Stones from sand dunes on the soles of my sandals. Dried salt at the base of my neck. Let it travel with the riptide to places unknown. Untangle strands of seaweeds from my wrists. Let me follow the shoreline beyond the current’s reach. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://amzn.to/4xPj2vY" target="_blank

If you ever come bythe bench where we used to sit,the one beneath the treewhere the frogs play quietly.Breathe in the breezethat flows by the creek.Let the moonlight pass through youin the summer heat.Go on, sit down.I saved you a seat.<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="728" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mUcW!,w_1456,c_limit
