It means that they really will have to peel back the layers. That can be fun not only for the writer, but the reader as well. You could try making your lines longer, possibly adding "filler words" so that your lines can be understood and therefore your entire poem will become more understandable. I read this poem a few times, broke it down into sentences, tried to grasp what any of it meant and I have drawn a complete blank.
<> petrichor glance
moves flux dead ochre in
torrent whites
descended
spates turned flights
to find calloused paw.
should hurt rose quartz crevices
cleft initials
in veined streams
for now ardent soil?
where conflict lead oil drops
to confines,
to break Memnon
wave rocks.
no, spoke fractures of
clay.
We meet, sacred,
to the occident-red,
severed tree
sentenced,
to breath free.
