i don't breathe around you

i hold my heart in my throat until

the moment where it beats too much

and completely pushes my adam's apple up

and then, like eve in the garden, i swallow sin

whole

Oh damn, I love this. Short and precise. Such a unique and vivid description of emotion and anxiety physicalized. The allusion to eve in the garden of Eden and the idea of swallowing sin who was amazing. It seemed to me like repression of "sinful" thoughts and feelings or something. The way the lines are arranged has an escalating feeling to the point where the Adam's apple is swallowed
whole.

Also the contrast between Adam's apple and Eve was really interesting to think about. Really incredible poetry, I'm saving this one:)
