‘The Burn List’ - spoken word, animated and illustrated NFT poem on Versum. Super happy with the response to this one - over 30 editions sold already! I feel like it resonates with a lot of us because it’s all about making art, being an artist and the nature of art.
Does art for art’s sake exist? How authentic is our work as we try to make a living - and how much of ourselves do we lose in the process?
100 editions at 2 $XTZ each - will be doing a big airdrop for all collectors once we hit 50 sold.
On the burn list today we have -
A poem I wrote when I was missing you,
15 XTZ, no offers, no memories
That I want to hold onto.
On the burn list today we have -
An animated poem about fear of loss
And life and death and how in the end
They equate to the same empty glass globe full of dust:
20 XTZ, three likes, no offers
And every time I look at it I am reminded that
Everyone I love is printed on polaroid, no more permanent
Than those beams of light that fall on heavy machinery
Through barn yard ceilings.
On the burn list today we have -
A poem I wrote when I was sick
Into the small hours, churning and wrenching
My mind split my chest wide open
Guts spilled across the bedsheets battleground Borodino;
30 XTZ, no offers, no tangible recovery
Will probably happen again.
On the burn list today we have -
How magical they look under the moon,
And how there’s beauty in everything,
Even the tiniest flicker of a moth’s lunar wings:
0.5 XTZ, no offers, not even a retweet
Some negative remarks on Instagram
Might spare this one, for now.
Remember that one I wrote about -
I posted all over Twitter you probably didn’t see
On the burn list today we have -
As if everyone I ever was,
Are only words, and destroyed
