Be My Next... (Poem for Magpie Tales)

This poem was birthed from this photo from the Magpie Tales Blog.

I fell in love with the photo and was perplexed with the "what to do with it" until I just sat down while free writing and let go of what would be born. I think I have proven I am such a hopeful romantic, I can romanticize anything and everything. ^Giggles^ What do you think?

Mottled blue-grey gunk is it? Outside the
underneath within the
hidden floorboard
Your conjoined metal
moans, “too hot, too cold”
in January and yes, early
December mornings
Reminding me of my
leaky, mottled blue-grey
gunk, that pushing together
that I would rather now,
more than perhaps, to-do
Not ever let it be seen in its
rusted, less-than-beautiful-than-most
be my next sunrise
be my next astonishment
be my next pronouncement of
lusty awakening
underneath, hidden, foreshadowing
the groans of release
right around the
unveiling ceremony
declaring “just right”
and “bridge of knowing”
and “movement enabled”
and “finally, finally, finally!”
