I truly fancy the poem, I specifically give emphasis to your spacing and short lines, the subject of course unfolds throughout, it might be unclear at first but ultimately it informs in a very cunning way.
The title captivated me personally and if you wouldn't mind me asking is it a letter-sent poem? (the "love, ben") part.
I enjoyed it. The short lines and lack of punctuation help to put the reader in the mind of the subject--urgent, frantic, tangential, even incoherent.
I think you could bring out more of its character with a different title though. Even "to my jewish doll" would help to illuminate the theme a little more.
thanks so much for reading, honestly means more than you could know. i really appreciate it! I'm going to read one of your poems now and give you my honest opinion. It's the least i can do. :)
