Just Jane
Dear Jane.
Dear Ben.
We were
We always were
fated to be.
together.
-
There is a coffee shop, Jane
I remember that coffee shop
named after us.
called The Last Kiss.
Remember?
I remember
That kiss in the rain
the coffee on your lips.
still lingers there.
-
But then...
There was a man.
-
We didn't see it
How were we to know
until he raised it to my face.
that he had a gun?
-
A f lash of red
His blood is still on the sidewalk.
and an eth erea l black ness .
The rain didn't wash it away.
-
I saw her
I saw him
As I rose.
As he fell.
She was cry ing.
He was smiling.
And Oh! the rain . . .
It still comes down.
-
It still comes down.
Sincerely,
just Jane

It's a choreopoem, which means it is made from two different voices that speak seperately but can be joined together to form a different message...
I don't think it's even an official poetry form. That's okay!
I also wish I could pick some of my own art to go with my writing but I'm not at all sure how to do that.
