Obsidian Toast: Poems that almost died

By Altar J Eagle

Reader, step into a world where death can come anytime, and poems rise from the edge of stillness, smoke, ash, and memory. Obsidian Toast by Altar J Eagle isn't here to soothe you; it's here to sting a little and remind you of what you carry and have silenced. Also, reminding you that your breath is still in your chest. This collection of subversive poetry is a departure from standard thought. It does not offer sanctuary but provides a door, some ajar, some locked, some swinging loose on broken hinges. If you are looking for a clear path, you will not find it, and if you are searching for answers, be prepared to lose the questions, too. These are remnants of near loss and thoughts that arrived too late, revealing that healing doesn't happen by default; it takes defiance. In the fog-shrouded coastal town of Longeroost, Cascadia, Altar J Eagle, a surrealist poet identifying as a Molothrus ater, invites you to a work where he conceals pain within metaphor.
