THE LAST DOOR
Every city has at its side another city whose inhabitants are called by the same name.
The double city has at its side another city comprising the city of the unborn. The more the city of the living becomes crowded and expanded, the more the expanse of tombs increases beyond the walls.
On fine afternoons the living population pays a visit to the dead and they decipher their own names on their stone slabs; like the city of the living, this other city has a history of toil, anger, illusions, emotions.
I think, “ perhaps, the beyond is not happy ”.
This is a door that we can enter only once, when we die.
