Testament

This prose-poem was originally published some years ago, in the online journal Yggdrasil, still going strong it would seem.

Testament
  
by

Victor Grauer
  
  
   When the General went out the door he came in the door. In going out
   the door the General came in. As he, the General, exited, he, the
   General, entered. For a moment he was exactly at the threshold between
   the inside and the outside and at that moment he became divided from
   himself exactly in half, one half to enter and the other half to leave.
   One half spoke. The other half remained silent.
