have you ever felt the bump on the back of my head? i keep it hiding under my hair. i dont let anyone get too close because they might find it.it could be a birthmark. or mole. or a scar. or cancer. but it is easy to ignore the things you cannot see. maybe my whole house is burning down behind me and i choose not to notice. maybe you are kissing your boyfriend tonight.either way i think you have felt that bump. maybe once. we were lying in bed. and i was letting you get too close to me. your fingers were swimming through my hair. they read the bump like braille. and suddenly i felt naked with all my clothes on. like you were opening a letter i had written but never sent. i thought about cancer. and my house in ashes. and then. you kissed me.
