That looks like unconventional poetry (very long lines) to me. "Traditional" poetry tends to have shorter lines, that usually fit in the page and only exceptionally need to be broken. The printing/typesetting conventions probably change between languages and countries, but over here the most common way to solve wrapping in poetry is right-aligning the wrapped part with a "[" before it.

Anyway, even if this need is addressed in a coming spec version, we'd have to wait for reading systems to support it...
