Referred in past tense
Value to the human given
Now just a physical presence
Waiting to be taken to the creamation
Till a second ago
Dealt with as real
Spoken about in  present
Now avoiding going near
The only reality hence fear
Arrangements made to keep the odour sane
Hours decided before removing the same
Planning involved in completing this game
Not even referred to by name
Sense of relief as the smoke exits the flame
