sometimes i will just breathe in
deeply
so deep
my back cracks a little
tiny pop pop poppings
traveling up and down my spine
from where the lungs are filling
outwards
and i cannot tell if that’s a good thing — like
i can expand my lungs so well
that it releases tensions in the bones — or
if it’s a bad thing, because
who else do you know
can crack their back
just by
breathing?
bones
September 8, 2025
do other people’s bones
just kinda pop
and shift
into place
when their bodies move,
like they’re catching up
with the muscles and tendons and fat and signals
from the brain — the bones are lazing their days away
but are [eventually] taken along for the ride?
is that my whole issue? that literally none of my body parts move as one
unit?
i’m just body parts
and systems
and cells and bacteria and all the tiny things
all wrapped up into one trench-coat of an external “body”
[maybe that’s why they/them feels so good on me]
