Last Words of a Kind Heart
Death's Breath
A turning in my stomach,
preordained that we
should part.
The future holds out for old age,
and congestion of the heart.
I made mistakes from ignorance,
from inexperience
and doing right.
Now here befalls the mystery;
please turn out the light.

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.
