Stalker

The rock in my stomach grows heavy
when the phone rings.
I am afraid of the email icon.
The streets have become
enemy territory.

He has invaded
even my dreams.
I try to call 
my friends
but whatever number I dial,
it is his voice 
at the other end.

I walk between
tall walls;
his shadow
blocks 
the way out.

Definitely does remind me of Alabama's Moore to the core who we deplore so what next is in store?
