Seeing unexpected death's toll.
A chapter in the book Going In Through The Out-The Doors
A Shared Experience- Uncommonly
by Mike K2
|
This poem comes from listening and reading about Jim Morrison, the singer of The Doors. The actual stories are detailed in the next chapter. With me, this is my first solid and detailed memory. The one's before it are quite dream like glimpses and images. Such is the impact of something so profound. Right off the bat, life is recognized, but so is death and in a sense it sets one apart, until people themselves catch up and also have to build upon the experience, a perspective.
The photograph of my grandfather and myself was taken by my Grandmother at Cape Hatteras, NC. This was approximately a year before I saw him pass on. For the most part, my grandfather worked a split shift of Baltimore Gas and Electric and was a trouble man for substations. I rarely saw him and very often, he went straight to bed as he never knew when he would be called.
Parents can try to protect, blunt deaths impact or explain. But the image will stay...
