Eclipsing
Inspired by the eclipse acrostics I read.
Extra ways to heal myself by climbing up this hill.
Cutting out the toxic people that caused my tears.
Like all the bad seeds are gone from my anxious life.
I spent some time fixing my fuck-ups and boundaries.
Parisian adventures and Portuguese resorts are so healing.
Solo learning is making me learn what freedom means.
Ever wanted to say fuck off, so badly?

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.
