His shoulders are pointed wings
folded around his core.
Nervous jerks flutter
invisible feathers.
His Adam's apple falls.
I watched this guy way too long for a poem this short...:p

Should it be expanded? Are the line breaks okay, or are they a little awkward?

The lines read a little awkwardly, which I think adds depth to the poem.
I would like to say you should make it longer but it works on the short. It also has this serreptitious feeling of someone admiring another from a distance, too shy to make an advance yet unable to walk away.
