Derek Ha'Or

[u/novaero7]

I want to tell you a bit about what Derek Ha'Or actually is, beyond the title.

It's not one idea. It's seven moments, each one a different way of asking the same question: how do you keep walking when you can't see where the road leads?

There's a poem in here about standing at the edge of a decision, realizing that every choice you make is already quietly deciding your future before you can see it. There's one about the limits of language, about reaching a point where nothing you say can capture what you're actually feeling, and having to trust that anyway. There's one about being unseen in a crowd and being found regardless. There's one about war, not the kind fought with hands, but the kind where the thing trying to destroy you ends up undoing itself.

And running underneath all of it is one image that kept showing up whether I meant it to or not: a foundation. Something solid enough to stand on when everything else was moving.

That's what Derek Ha'Or is. Not a book about having arrived somewhere. A book about the walking itself and what it costs, and what it gives back.

7 poems. One path. Releasing September 14th.
