In the womb we are blind cave fish.

Everything is vague and dizzy. The skin swells and
there is no more distinction between parts of the
body. An encroaching sound of threatening,
mocking, monotonous voices. This is fear and
attraction of being swallowed.

Inside the dream, button sleep around your body
like a glove. Free now of space and time. Free
to dissolve in the streaming summer.

Sleep is an under-ocean dipped into each night.
At morning, awake dripping, gasping, eyes
stinging.

The eye looks vulgar
Inside its ugly shell.
Come out in the open
In all of your Brilliance.

Nothing.
The air outside
burns my eyes.
I'll pull them out
and get rid of the burning.

Jim Morrison
1943-1971
Poems-The Lords-Notes on Vision (excerpt)
1969


"There are things known, and there are things unknown.
And in between are the doors."
