Death Trax is a new mixtape series where people (somewhat obviously) curate music for their own funerals. This week artist and musician Ava East shares her playlist and a short poem.
Words of light bring dawn
As love in gardenia hue
As Beauty imagined by Star
Gifted to my Shadow Painter
Illustrated caricatures
I entrust with soft lament
While Soul searches lost rivers
Between the heart of lands
Fly above an arrow’s gaze
Giving stares beyond Sun
Eyes wide to seek the jewel
Mine fill with a burning truth:
I am day-awake
I am forever
Motionless in glass dreams
