Momma please come hold me…
I've buried my daughter…
Didn't think she was mine...
Burnt out on the damn road…

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
KEROUAC LIVES series. I believe that Kerouac suffered greatly with not acknowledging his daughter. My series of poems referencing her are an attempt to show the great remorse he surely must have felt. Whenever I write one, I feel his spirit very close to me.

Only if they dig up Jack and Jan and to a DNA test He won't be at peace

2) So very tragic that the two had met only twice. I sincerely believe that The Kerouac Project will help both of them to be at peace with themselves. BTW, talk about synchronicity, Jan was born 1 week to the day before I was born. The mysterious coincidences continue happening!

During his lifetime, a DNA test had proven that Jack was her father. Further proof was when after his death, as his daughter, she had received 50% of the royalties.
