A Poet's Job

A poet's job
is packing
stuffing/cramming
meaning
into words
 musing
choosing
spacing
linking
letters

How much 
weight
can one word 
muster?
Some
are literally
loaded

&&& love &&&
+++God+++
****you****
-(-(us)-)-
----/\/\truth/\/\----
~~~life~~~
%%happiness%%
888-eternity-888
XXXdeathXXX
\/\/\/nature\/\/\/
. . . . . . . . . . . . time
xoxoxo passion oxoxox
____humanity____
*!%!*AngeR*!%*
yearning
===beauty===
:::::grace:::::
$-~-value-~-$
##justice##
///sacrifice///
[sin]
simplicity

maybe 
a poet's job
is unpacking
unstuffing
unloading
these words
to be
but a prism
casting
the spectrum
of one
