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
