LA Woman (I)
 
Bending over the map
 
Of Los Angeles,

I dowse for my better half. . .

The violet glow

Pokes up thru my curtains.

 
NY Maiden (II) 

With a pair of special rods

In my both fists,
 
I dowse for my better half,
 
Bending over the map
 
Of New York City. . . Alas,

The pale dawn is awaking

Upon the Hudson sky line.

 
Paris Witch (III)

Somewhere between

The blood red sunset
 
And foreign daybreak,

I try to grope for

My better half. . . in vain.
 
The mock sun is hanging over

The map of Pére-Lachaise.

The modest ceremony
 
Right at noontime July, 1971.

It's not a photo of him that I recognize, but thanks to Richard I now know this is about Jim Morrison. And I'm not sure about the "tribute" referred to by some of the others. I certainly loved his music, if not his lifestyle. And, I cannot connect him to New York City or Los Angeles, even after seeing the movie.

While a graduate student I stayed, with a family and shared a room with a 15-year-old. He occasionally went up to Marin County where his sister lived and told me that he hung out with the Doors.

Don't know the person but this is a wonderful tribute to him from a friend.

Indeed. The death of Jim Morrison. Buried in a French graveyard. A talented poet/vocalist. An excellent band the Doors. A uniquely composed tribute, Alexander. Peace to you...
