The coffin is the container of the finished — the box built to hold what has ended. An empty coffin awaits an ending; an open one displays it; a closed one seals it. Whose ending does the dream-coffin hold?
Positive Resonance
The ending contained and honored, closure given form
Shadow Aspect
The ending premature, buried alive — the living treated as finished
Nuances
Empty coffin: an ending awaited
Your own coffin: contemplating a self concluding
Closed lid: the ending sealed
Buried alive: the living declared finished too soon
