One Word Can Be a Dictionary of Meaning

Let’s agree that our words mean something; words like Ma and Pa, all those proto-vowels, but also ‘prestigious’ and ‘disambiguation’ they also are layered with insights for the perceptive. Words can be as layered as Damascus steel, more so, they many even have roots as deep as earth-time itself. All interesting words have a winding history, their meanings are associated, linked with many more meanings. Such words are symbols for myriad realities. This kind of inquiry is never ending. interpretation cannot be superficial, poetry demands a deeper seeing. Some words have no inner-life of their own, such words have a paucity, a dearth, they are derivatives of a shallow concept given unsustainable implications. From the very start they were everlastingly empty. The astute choose words that mean more than can be said.
