Nathan Kemp

Between You and Me


I know the sound of the bones inside your skin. I know whether or not that metaphor you used
was sound.
I know about your decision to leave me waiting at the terminal with nothing to read. I know you
have a
Cleveland Browns tattoo underneath that Enya t-shirt. I know that you carry my heart in your
bike basket.
I don’t know how you gathered the nerve to tell me I’m superfluous. I know that you misuse the
words
sedentary and oblong. I know that you weren’t really worth knowing after all. I know how you
forgave Jesus.
