-Dedicated to Ray Manzarek
in Memoriam
At 9, I was like a
cadaver dog sniffing
at a lizard doorstop
when Jim Morrison
died then Manzarek
sang Tight Rope Ride
a scorching single and
it lifted me out of the
grief over losing a
rock star hero, now
as I listen to their post
Morrison albums at
Ray Manzerak’s death
I realize that a storm
damaged door with
beveled stain glass at
architectural salvage
is still a hell of a door
