Kerouac’s Daughter

Over the grave you stand gentle
smile arms outstretched open

hands welcoming Christ there
in the tomb at least his old bones
not rotting rather becoming white

light white heat like his writing
holy spirit Jack Kerouac your lost
father holy ghost wandering now

in other realms like he did on earth
he does in heaven his books and
yours published there where you

in darkest night in darkest night
comes wind weaves night violin
wolf song comes wind weaves

night violin wolf song in darkest
night in darkest night where you
steal away where you steal away

into everybody’s anonymous soul
Kerouac’s compassionate daughter
poet birthing the global literary

community “an unimaginable and
impossibly immaculate Reconception

the very craziest of Second Comings”
