Pick a hand of dust and see your future
Pay the reaper when at the gates
Belay your debt for another time
Was having fun your only crime
Driven to live despite adventure
Given the need but thrown away
What’s your corner and who did you built it for
Is this the hope that keeps you safe
Ignore the crude calls of misunderstanding
Focus your goal to life’s first call
Return your mind to a day less remembered
Feel the freedom of a memory once gone
No matter how high you climb for fortitude
Or what power exuberance installs
Its from the heart where it all begins
No jump-start required your going to win
Don't try so hard looking in earnest
No great search is needed to find this thing
Within yourself is all that's needed
Enjoy life and feel your head spin.

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.
