I am dearly departed to those who loved me. Demon, to those who loathed me. Spectacle, to those who watch me now. I am a work day for the executioner. An operating cadaver for the medical student. A hole to dig for the groundskeeper. I am a meal for someone. The birds up high, or those that root in the ground, or metaphorically in the passing of coin. I am a reminder, a message in my remains.
