I experience freedom when
*
A truly unadorned light becomes
My home
*
Fully aware of my actions
Roughly patched paths perish
Excavation of my innermost thoughts – an
Elegy for the
*
Fragmentation of lies
Roaring from other people’s mouths, I’m riding
On my own crest of a wave –
My inner haven
*
Fury, frustration, fear fibres
Experienced in times in-between
Are not there anymore
Rammed into a climactic catastrophe
*
When I write
Hyaenas vanish
Every word, image, thought in my mind matters
No matter what happens anywhere else
Even enemies evaporate
Vanquished in an argument
Estranged in their tautology
Ruminating about illogical, illicit issues
*
I weave, I thread, I rip off
*
When I write I
Really read my ripe fruits from my innards
Inhaling scents, savours, sounds
They tend to help me with that
Elevated state of mind

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.
