Barabbas

[Philatone]

hey bogpan! happy belated by the way!
brief line-by

Where are my hands?
Where are they?...not sure about the repetition. If you're in love with them, switching lines one and two could make it more interesting and useful for them to be in the poem
They're reaching for dark
chests.
And somebody is giggling.
Barabbas!
And my backbone is
squeezing.
I can't breath.
Take them.

The Three Wise Men passed..need the "The" and the capitals?
by
(without stopping)
after a long star. ..interesting way to describe a star
On the hill
there was a town.

the first stanza seems a bit too cryptic for me to grab much meaning from. Even that "them" is rather vague to close--the chests, the hands, or something else entirely?
Additionally, I think another adjective besides "dark" may be helpful; i wasn't sure if where they were was dark or if the chests only were dark, which changes things...

I want to like this, but am feeling like I am missing too much
