  • Casket: a coffin. (death) Worms eat the dead.
  • vagina: where "worms" go to die (after a short but vigorous life) -- start of new life, ricorso.

Echo of John 12:24: unless a grain of wheat (seed/semen) falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

double ricorso: the reuse of material substance of the body and the engendering of life.
