My hands used to race from the extremities of your body,
Hovering above the many marvels that you'd hidden from my lingering eyes.

Now, a thick, plasticised suit encases every inch of you,
Suffocating your singularity,
And claiming your victories for the Collective.

Every time that I think of running my fingers along the firm ridges of your body,
I remember what you wear
I remember what asphyxiates you now.
