In His Lost Shadow Poem by Richard Wlodarski
In His Lost Shadow
Do you care
If I'm dead
Your shadow
Following
Your lost son
'til he was
So reborn
My esteemed poet, on one level, you are correct. But the poem is far from being just about reincarnation. It's more about the love/hate relationship between Jack Kerouac and his mother. And that was largely as a result of the tragic very early death of his brother Gerard.
This appears to be more about belief in rebirth which yet has no evidence
