fr. francesco
jives under leaf-green-blankets
to a jungle drum—outside rain
under leaf-green-blankets he
reminds his forgetting to
throws crosses at passersby—wait—
in-heart mutiny
twine snap!
jives forbidden to a jungle drum
forbidden
free
first smile on his face
stomping beads
I know how frustrating it is to post something and get zero feedback, so I'm tossing a couple of thoughts about this unusual poem your way.
First, I like the free form spacing you've constructed. I do have three quibbles: the line "reminds his forgetting to" leaves the reader hanging. Maybe that's deliberate. It's sort of a poem made up of fragments which is not necessarily a bad thing. I also think "first smile on his face" ought to be the last line. "stomping beads" leads me to expect more lines.
