operational windmills
this is one of two operational windmills left
in the ceremonial county
they're always up hills
and they're always either last seen or known demise
like a possibly extinct bird
you just keep blending
if it doesn't look good
or you buy a more expensive brush
or powder
when you're not the one naturally pretty partner
well, it's cactus growing season, here
where they're not supposed to grow
it's a relapse of sorts
it's root rot in a pot
a new shoot saved
but my dress zip waits
at the anatomic equivalent
of where you apply my cat's flea treatment
external dependencies
of sorts

hot corners and the displaced tea towel
