Tick. Tick. Tick. ick. ick. ick.

By Danny Ray Cuhen

Tick. Tick. Tick. ick. ick. ick. is a confessional narrative that traces a single speaker's life from childhood trauma through war, addiction, and attempted self-destruction, exposing how violence-both personal and systemic-infects every layer of existence.

It begins with the imagery of color: blue representing innocence, peace, and the natural world, and red symbolizing blood, war, and loss. The shift from blue to red marks the speaker's fall from childhood wonder into a lifetime scarred by abuse, guilt, and silence.

It's both an elegy and a confession: a record of what violence leaves behind in the body, in memory, and in color.
