Home...
skipping stones in the river
chasing moonbeams
feeling a memory
crying spontaneously
she poured the kettle into the tea pot
her on her rocking chair, me perched on the footstool
I remember her smell, her smile
Home...
a feeling
a unique moment
a thought
an awareness
the place stands
it is the house
my steps can be counted
footsteps remembered
The day
the weather
the songs on the radio
the spontaneous mood
Home...
changes with every season
changes with the adults
changes with their mood
changes with their needs
Home...
is now
is the moment
is the perspective
is the current mindset
Home...
trust and reliance
warmth and embrace
joy and safety
smiles and hugs
Home...
to not fear
to not fester
to not feel alone
to not FEAR
Home...
carried always within
captured, polaroid
movement or static
close or far
Home...
It is just home
home is connection
good or bad
home is...
within you.

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.
