A Good Fit
Some Assembly Required
Her breath on my chest
Are whispers nocturnal
Fomenting the day ahead
Before my plans awaken
.
Her convexity
To my concavity
Promises breathy secrets
For tomorrow yet unrealized
.
Her warmth
Blankets my chills
Until warmly equilibrating
To our life ahead

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.

Wonderfully written, you use subtle language that stay in the heart to convey the closeness of love.
"Blankets my chills" - great line.
These love poems beautifully capture the intimacy and connection between two people. Well done!
