Decease Aloma is a haunting and deeply evocative collection of poetic prose that explores childhood, memory, and the fragile boundaries between love and fear. Told through the eyes of Tarby, a young girl navigating a world of contradictions, the work blends lyrical storytelling with raw emotional truth.
Set against a backdrop of domestic tension and fleeting moments of tenderness, these pieces capture the quiet resilience of a child trying to make sense of instability, secrecy, and unspoken pain. From shadow-filled hallways to rare glimpses of warmth—a sugared orange, a gentle embrace—the narrative reveals how beauty and trauma can coexist in the same breath.
Mickan’s writing is vivid, unsettling, and profoundly human, weaving together memory, imagination, and survival into a tapestry that lingers long after the final page.
