Symbiotic or symbolic?

Today I used the words hieroglyphics and sarcophagus in two unrelated haiku - symbiotic or symbolic? The first related to editing markups and the second to a desk tidy. Could both be symbolic of the mystery of death - death of a manuscript from author's intention to editor's correction, and the other as the holder of dead pens? Obviously I am procrastinating from the real job of writing and need to take a self-discipline pill.
