My mind on fire
I was swirling with thoughts of
Past life, love returned
In my head again.
Questioning. Do you know me?
Are you my true love?
The swirling must stop.
I must find my root, my core, myself.
I ground. I release.
I thought you knew me.
My love doused. Reality.
The fire out now.

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.
