A handwritten poem by Jim Morrison found among his possessions in the Paris hotel where he died in 1971 is being auctioned online.
It was written on the last page torn out of a notebook. "Last words, Last words out" and "I have drunk the drug of forgetfulness" are among the verses.
The double-sided document is the highlight of an online auction that went live Thursday.
Auctioneer Paddle8 says bidding is expected to reach $60,000 to $80,000 by the time it ends June 25.
Morrison was the lead singer of the 1960s rock group the Doors. The group's hits included "Light My Fire" and "L.A. Woman."
Paddle8 says the document is special for several reasons: It's in Morrison's own hand and was with him when he died at 27. (ika)(+++)
