It’s hard to believe a $10.00 gasket can increase the cost
of a casket by $500 or more. In the end, the beautiful lining
is stained by our juices, and we all decompose anyway.

“Demon come forth,
even if it be God I call forth
standing like a carrion,
wanting to eat me,
starting at the lips and tongue.”

Poem from Anne Sexton, Demon
