My fingers feel
Bonier than usual
While washing my hands

Like lifeless cylinders
Unfeeling as they rub
Against each other

Windchimes
That collide
But make no sound

The calluses
Have calluses

The feeling skin
Wears away

Skeletons hands
Can grab, lift,
And carry as much
As skinless hands

So why not
Peel away
The excess layer
Like wrapping
On a package
