Jim Morrison poem up for sale

NEW YORK — A handwritten poem by Jim Morrison found among his possessions in the Paris hotel where he died in 1971 ends with the line “Last words, Last words out.”

Written on the last page torn out of a thick notebook, the double-sided document is the highlight of an online auction that went live Thursday. Auctioneer Paddle8 said bidding through June 25 is expected to reach between $60,000 and $80,000.

The lead singer and songwriter of the ’60s rock group The Doors died at age 27. The exact cause of death was never determined.

Whether the poem’s words were a foretelling of what was to come is anyone’s guess. The rocker famous for such iconic tunes as Light My Fire, L.A. Woman and Riders on the Storm was known for his darkly poetic lyrics and alcohol and drug use.
