Sudden Life
In memory of Joe Kincheloe
By Valerie J. Janesick
His genome was global
So the news of sudden death
Caught us by surprise.
His music was heavy rock
So now that we cannot hear it
We are struck with stark silence
His mentoring continues
In our lived memories
So hope regains a foothold.
He was an artist with words
The rapturous and enchanting sentences
Are now frozen since that December day.
Does it take a death to appreciate a life?
His spirit returns
Surrounding us like a rolling stone
