Philophobia (fear of falling/being in love)

Rumble of cathedral crows.
Concrete dry wall shows
unrequited love:
clear as day;
disembodied voice says,
“Bloody table edge.”

Hide behind the hedge
and jump out, too scared to say: “Boo”.

(I saw you at the laundromat
but pretended not to.)

easy rhythm and flow. Nicely constructed. Really a fun read. I wonder if there's a fear of everything? tfs
