Its a poem!

It has to do with religion. Three, the father the son and the holy ghost. Three, heaven, hell and purgatory. dante uses these by having three compenents make up his divine comedy and having the poem written in terza rema, THREE lines for every stanza.
That's the implication. We're in a pseudo-Catholic universe, so it might be more precise to say that he spends his days in Purgatory, a place intermediate between Heaven and Hell (but pretty hellish), and his nights as a ghost. He's not allowed to talk about it. He might just disappear after he's done giving penance, but more likely he's going to Heaven.

The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century, is divided into three parts: Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Heaven). It is considered one of the greatest works of world literature.
Dante wrote the Inferno as a part of his epic poem, The Divine Comedy, as a journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. He wrote it to explore the concept of sin and redemption, and to offer moral and spiritual lessons to readers.

The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri, which was a journey starting in the Inferno (Dante's vision of hell), moving through purgatory and finishing in Paradise (Heaven). The phrase abandon hope all who enter here was said to be inscribed above the entrance to the Inferno.
probably in purgatory!
It's a translation of a line (Canto 34, line 136) from the very end of Dante's Inferno as he and Virgil leave move from the hole at the bottom of hell to the mountain of purgatory. As he reaches the opening at the foot of Mount Purgatory, Dante sees the stars through the exit. The last line of the Inferno is in fact "And thence we came forth to look again at the stars" (canto 34, line 139).
Dante Alighieri was a Renaissance poet. He wrote many famous poems, but by far his most celebrated are the Divine Comedies, consisting of "Inferno", his journey through Hell, "Purgatorio", his stay in Purgatory (a land between Heaven and Hell), and "Paradisio", when he finally enters the gates of Heaven. His Divine Comedies inspired many myths and much artwork--even a video game called "Dante's Inferno".
In Catholic belief, those who die in a state of grace but with unresolved sins go to purgatory. Purgatory is a temporary place of purification where souls undergo cleansing before entering heaven. It is believed that through prayers and sacrifices, the souls in purgatory can be helped to move on to heaven.
