From the invocation

I'm glad you made it here.
I'm so grateful you arrived safe.

I don't know what you encountered on your way,
but I see some bumps and bruises.
I see the scratches.
I have salve in my cabinets.
I know how to dress wounds.

Just before you enter —
take off your shoes.
Wash your hands.
Meet me in the kitchen.

This is not a gentle read about healing.
It is a ceremony.

About the book

Towards
What Hurt

adria moses

This is not wellness. It is a ceremony.

Poems that do not flinch. That witness. That burn. That restore. Written from inside the wound, the scar, the survival — and from the other side of it. Towards What Hurt moves through preparation, wildfire, and return. It refuses the demand that healing be soft or worthiness be earned.

For the hurt and the healed. For survivors and seekers. For anyone who has chosen to stay awake in a world that rewards numbness.

From the collection

Running from the pain
was the same as
running from the remedy.

It wasn't until I went
towards what hurt
that I found
the means to heal.

The ceremony

I

The Portal Opens

Where we begin. Before the fire, before the return — the arrival. Who you are when you come in.

II

The Wildfire

The wound, the scar, the body that kept score. Illness. Loss. The cost of surviving in a world that would prefer your harm.

III

The Return

Coming home. Not back to who you were — forward to who you are becoming. Love. Softness. Belonging to yourself.
