I like you because you have bad skin
and I think
maybe you have scars from some childhood trauma
or abuse
and though I’d love to see you naked
to assess the damage
and to explore the distinctions
between
   soft and dry
      damp and downy
         gentle and jagged
I think
I prefer you clothed
cloaked
separated from me by a layer of cloth
a soft, woven skin
and a few thousand miles
