the needs and the nods

There's an espresso machine that needs descaling
curtains that need ironing
cushions covers that need covering
documents which are pending
water that's begun boiling
thoughts that have been rotting
heart hellbent on roiling
sheets that need changing
regrets that want flinching
people who need singeing
bottoms that need caning
lips that crave staining
souls awaiting tainting
plans considering foiling
plants decidedly dying
kisses that should be flying
hands that need toiling
hinges crying for oiling
things that don't need buying
passwords that need verifying
molten moments slowly solidifying
