Poem: Haiti

To be honest, I'm still trying to understand e.e. cummings, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This is also the most punctuation I've ever had in a poem.
-
Haiti

reckless,mind you,earth in rebellion
a circumference cracking at seams
&discortation by desolation;but
if you thought,you were wrong were
wronged to find solace
among chimney spent ash rent
dourness widowed&childless,pitchfork-weld
bones harvested through rent skin
&gurneys of white,flashes&photographs
tell of earth(quaken and crumple
pits of homelessness/echo
in rains today,everywhere but
silence in spondees,hesitations--
);
