a. m. dobles

(BINDINGS)

sometimes i am aching
expanding ribcage caging
me within this buzzing skin

i want to be bound so tightly
that my chest loosens its grip
on this heart that beats too loudly

i want to strain against constraints
my body absolved from
the indecisions of this brain

wrap me in your arms please
keep me from floating
untethered out of this skin
