Gateway cemetery

Welcome to

                                  Gateway Cemetery.

                                   I cordially invite you to take a seat where you like.

    For tonight,

                                          you are in for a treat

                                                     or a trick

                                                                 you decide.

                          Tonight

                                          under the moon.

                                                                              We will

                                                                                              dine

                                                                                      with the dead.

                              Tonight,

                                                                                                 we listen.

                                                                                                              Shh. Shh.

                                                                                                                                   they speak…

                                         For Tonight,

                                                                       Death

                                                     Will

                                                                 Be

                                                                        near.

                                For Tonight,

                                                                                  Will

                                                                                                                  y-o-u

                                                                                  fear?

                                Tonight,

                                                will you dine

                                                                                                       with the

                                                                                                                                        dead?

                                Tonight

                                                                           will you

                                                                                                        Join the dead?

“Gateway Cemetery” is both a visual and poetic meditation on the thin space between life and death — and the quiet beauty that can exist there.

In the poem, a mysterious voice invites the listener to “dine with the dead,” not as a warning, but as a reflection on fear, curiosity, and communion with the unknown. The story unfolds like a séance — intimate, eerie, and strangely comforting.

The accompanying digital artwork mirrors this theme through its interplay of light and decay, offering a glimpse of what lingers in places forgotten by time. Together, the poem and image form a haunting duet — a whisper that says: Look closer. The silence is alive.
