Kerouac Alley, San Francisco

Freshly scrubbed

debummed and painted

Ferlinghetti’s people

prepare Kerouac Alley

to salute its most luminous

city light

Peace Barn, Bolinas, CA

stopping on the unmarked road

peace beams at us

from quiet brown and green rafters

a neon sign illuminates the day

serendipity

 There is no turning back

we’ve reached the end
