I'm afraid you will wound me

Earlier, I hid in my coat. The wool
scraped at my ears, speaking of rough.

There's much to dodge these days;
the flu, the bee and his sting, you.

I confess a fear that snaps bone--
you are a good man, and this
is unfamiliar.

Good rhythm, sharp clear language. I like it.
