A poem with a long title
#6
Xlateralus,

I can make no sense of the title or tell what connection it has to the poem.

"Pins and needles scatter light from crevices of sunshine crawling through brown sacks of dust."

How do "pins and needles" scatter light. "Pins and needles" usually is a phrase that is generally used in connection to the awakening of numbness.

What are (is) "crevices of sunshine"?

For me this sentence conveys nothing. Maybe it is missing some context?

The next two stanzas seem a repeat, in terms of generating meaning, of the first.

Sorry, I really don't know what to do with this.

best,

dale
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
