city vertigo
voice shrieking through the chasm
falls down to the street

Here one runs the risk of reading too much into the poem. The heights one reaches in the city with its skyscrapers literally and in success, is contrasted with the emptiness and depths one can fall. literally from the tops of buildings to the loneliness of being by oneself amongst millions with a voice shrieking to be heard in a chasm. The last line leaves the feeling of failing in the fall to the street. Very nice so much in so little the essence of poetry
Thank you, Soren. I would have liked to publish this poem without a title, but the website doesn't seem to allow that.
Should you wish to do so I would write the words without title in the space or a question mark.
A fine write, Perdita.
Thank you, Jerry.
