Her sirens all have gone to sleep
With icy breaths she heaves a sigh
Surrenders to her bottom deep
Floating upward to what lingers in her eye
Keeper of the birds, the trees, the shore
Fallen is the bay that freezes cool
Winter comes to threaten and what more
Keep and come to claim the land you rule
The flurries spark on unsuspecting ground
Her skin begins to build a shield of crystal glass
Among her body life’s abound
young and old follow the ocean bypass
So cold, she coos to lovers near
Who dare to brave the path she clears

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.
