After a long week
"thoughts"
After a long, busy week,
Here I am.
It is Saturday morning.
I am alone.
Resting.
My window is open.
A fresh breeze.
There are a few light rain showers outdoors.
Birds fly.
I'm watching from my window.
The gray mist is moving slowly.
Viewing it from a distance appears invigorating.
Enjoying nature.
Next to me, there's a cup of coffee.
I am fantasizing about life.
I wish I could relax like this every day.
I wish I had all I desired.
Sometimes life can keep me occupied.
Is there a way?
Will I ever rest and stop working?
How can I even get to the point of resting?
I wish I had everything.
I wish my life was simpler.

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.
