Opposites

I mountaineer trash;
you heap wonder.
I escape the lash;
you feast on wonder.
You built this city
on-a lake-of tears.
I built these string bridges from
fears and hopes.
(The only way to be together
is to build, is to create,
but I’ve never made more
than sand castles and tissue paper kites.)
You dig treasures for the world;
I uncover deepness dark.
You travel entouraged;
I live here, loneless.

i like this one
i wonder what it is about? Also- i like the picture you chose for it.
‘i uncover deepness dark’
‘i’ve never made more than sand castles and tissue paper kites’
-i like those phrases
-and i like how you purposelly didn’t rhyme ‘tears’ with ‘fears and hopes’
- from an earlier podcast i take it you handle rhyming poetry with caution? What are your hangups about it?
