Winter Weather

My hands are so dry right now that I feel like I could just rip the skin off the bones and muscle. The skin between my knuckles shines and almost feels smooth when I make a fist, but the rest of my hands are textured with each skin cell cracking without enough moisture. The joints of my fingers are covered in cement. Trying to stretch out the tightness, I keep tugging at the skin, hoping some hidden moisture in my fingertips will replenish it. But instead, it just makes me want to tear away the dead skin and forget this dryness all together.
