For those with any smart comments, using a camera for a self portrait is has the same effect of jumping into ice water.
In a sense, this poem is in regards to another poem I wrote, The Light of Love, and my museum demise is laid out in the notes.
Poems are like bats in a cave and when all is right, they release from hibernation and fly out of one's mind. I had some ideas of what I wanted to say, but no vehicle to relate the imagery. The ironic thing was with giving the lady the poem, thoughts of Jim Morrison popped into my mind. I know my work affected her very deeply and was overwhelming, but I feel she couldn't accept the words, and had to seek another reason that I would write it.
I purchased the CD by Ray Manzarek, titled, "Doors, Myth and Reality," which is the spoken history of the Doors and also Jim Morrison's and Ray Manzarek's lives. I feel this is the most valuable recording that I own.
In my biography I actually refer to Ray Manzarek as more of a ghost in my life then Jim Morrison. I was so happy to hear him speak so candedly about his life as I of Ray and his music, long before I knew of the Doors. I also loved him talking honestly about Jim, as when I studied them a few years ago, had a personal dream which forever change my conception of who Jim Morrison actually was. With Ray chides the movie of the Doors, I enjoyed it, but how they portraid Jim really didn't hold anything for me. This CD actually bolsters how I feel about Jim Morrison and I agree with Ray, it is about the man behind the poetry.
On disk 1, track 8, "The soul of the doors," I think Ray nails it and describes Jim Morrison's apartment they way my rooms was, minus the camera obscura and the hidden bullet hole. He also relates his expeirence at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who inducted the Doors. He was asked if he had any of Jim's possessions, and he was happy to announce and sense, willing to donate, Jim's dictionary he had from colledge on. The muesom was only interested in his pants, and I thing Ray pinned it right!
