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?
lung capacity
June 9, 2025
i’ve hit a roadblock
in my own lungs
and i can only theorize
about stress and anxiety showing itself in my body
before it gets to my conscious mind —
that’s the reason i can only take full breaths
in very specific instances
and never using the full capacity
of what my lungs should be
and i’m getting enough oxygen
[probably]
it’s just a little more than a little unsettling
to know i have more space for air
and to simply
not
be able to get it
