Blue Moon Valentine

The good you want
for me may not
be good for me
I say as the light
takes off its clothes
who ever thinks of
of what I might
be feeling just a
little bit ahead of
me it’s creepy love
is craven and a
little creepy as if
to say you’re mine
from now on nothing
will be the same

This one reminded me of Mark Salerno for some reason. You haven't reminded me of him in the past. He used to edit a great mag, ARSENAL. I think that was the name. Maybe it's still current...I'm not so don't know. I enjoyed his one book of poetry and some mag pieces I saw. The book was titled Hate. I just Googled him and found he had a book out through Salt in 2007: http://www.saltpublishing.com/writers/profile.php?recordID=209957

Anyway, just mention just in case you might like his stuff. He does the skinny poem thing too but as with you there's a lot of negative capability. Like you, no arbitrary line breaks or "faking" the skinny poem visually. There is no faking out the skinny poem lol.
