MAIDS ARE BICKERING…
by Jim Morrison
Maids are bickering in the hall
The day is warm
Last night’s perfume
I lie alone in this
cool room
My mind is calm & swirling
like the marble pages of an
old book
I’m a cold clean skeleton
scarecrow on a hill
In April
Wind eases the arches
of my boney Kingdom
Wind whistles thru my mind
& soul
My life is an open book
or a T.V. confession
”Maids are Bickering…” appears in The American Night: The Writings of Jim Morrison, Volume 2, available at Amazon.com.
