In these moments we build–
A shiver running steady to your head.
Could this be innocence's demise?
To discover this language left unsaid.
I sense your feeling of elation.
My mind shouts,
It knows it too.
Intertwined beyond resolve.
My heart whispers -
I give myself to you.
Nina Simone - "I Loves You Porgy"

An (after)thought
Some things come to mind.
Sitting here staring through your window. No longer in a state of wonder. My mind accepts this familiar feeling. But, where does this leave me? You are no longer within reach. A memory that flows so clearly through my head. I reflect upon what we have just witnessed together.
Until you appear in my arms once again.

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.
