What can I purchase with my body

What can I purchase with my body,
this gift certificate,
yellowing but not invalid
till the expiry date?

Pay for me, commands the trophy
in the twinkling mall.
Leave with me, sighs the token,
outside the capital.

I long to hear what the grave speaks
for tokens or for trophies.
It has already spoken what
the body certifies.
