The submission period begins on Tuesday 2nd May and ends on Monday 22nd May at 9pm GMT.
Withered flowers; brown, fallen leaves; bones; empty shells, old bits of driftwood; sunset; graveyards; scrap heaps and rubbish tips;
ruined houses or wrecked automobiles mouldering into the earth; road kill;
rites of passage celebrations such as birthdays and graduations marking the end of one life phase and the beginning of the next – all these are forms of death.

Meanwhile, here's a song, because I like the words:
In A Graveyard/Rufus Wainwright:
"Wandering properties of death
Arresting moons within our eyes and smiles
We did rest
Amongst the granite tombs to catch our breath
Worldly sounds of endless warring
Were for just a moment silent stars
Worldly boundaries of dying
Were for just a moment never ours
All was new
Just as the black horizons blue
Then along the bending path away
I smiled in knowing I'd be back one day"
