Wreckage Construct

Ahead the grim machinery,
  Beneath the diesel tread,
Construct out of wreckage,
  The two are interbred.
The hand of femininity,
  That delicate device,
Disproves it is a man's world,
  Dispels it in a trice.
From ruins and destruction,
  Demolition tinged with doom,
A flower grows regardless,
  A steel magnolia bloom.
Sweet beads of perspiration
  Sweat emotion from the bone,
Her love in hot transmission
  Is for you and you alone.
