would that I could

I stand and look clear to the horizon
but I feel you at my back
a thundercloud presence looming
a crackling ozone threat

would that I could fly
and place between us
the widest part of the world
but flight doesn't help
the seabird against the squall
nor will it ever help
me against you

for you are in me and of me
you loathe how you love me

and that frightens me
