Coming out of the Shadows

[robklurfield]

Post your interpretation of the title. Here's mine.

The least smart of our three dogs, but perhaps the most lovable, Otto, refused to sit down for a portrait. Maybe this is more interesting to look at than a portrait would have been as he was lurking in the deep shadows and emerged just in time for me to catch him. The shadow makes the most docile fellow you'd ever want to meet (we assume he'd lick a burglar rather than bite him), look menacing and ominous. The camera lies (some more than others depending on who's handling it).

"The Earth Pays Back Heretical Lives in Her Mysterious Drawers"

I suppose the cryptic message on this sign in one of the St. Louis Cemeteries in New Orleans must be referring to the crypts -- the drawers in the mausoleums themselves. This cemetery was crumbling in more places than those that were being well maintained. Perhaps the writer was opining on the notion of the grave sites themselves and their departed occupants going the route of all things, ashes and dust. An incisive observation from someone with shaky handwriting.​
