The April 1st challenge for NaPoWriMo asked participants to use the first five songs on their shuffle list to write a poem.
Because I hadn’t set up this blog yet, I posted only to @sensualstories at Twitter.
In order to keep the napowrimo works together, i’m adding it now.

1. John the Revelator, Son House. #napowrimo
2. The Creeper, Pelican, instrumental #napowrimo
3. Such Great Heights, Iron and Wine
4. Kiss Me, The LaLas #napowrimo
5. Somethin Else, The Sex Pistols #napowrimo
Those are the songs for my first challenge. I’m going to let them steep. See what happens

Ms. Dora the held the book, black leather shining in her hands, talked of Genesis in hearts and men who’d lead us,
But John the Revelator, The Creeper as he was, sought discovery in me, pushed away the dust of cloudy glass eyes,
Peered to find such great heights in me, well of life and hope, dreamed of filling me up from the inside out, waters of his own
Lips at my ears, my heart, hands on my breasts, John spoke what his namesake did not, “Kiss me,” his beckon prayer,
Church bus ride on country dust to gravel roads, the songs and preaching chastity, the revelation somethin else.
