Winner of the annual Writer's Digest contest for "International Self-Published Book Awards", One Oar: A Journey With Alzheimers is a compilation of the poetry and verse by Marie Bahlke. Her lyrical images are as emotionally compelling and candid as they are universal and reflective of the human experience. To A Dead Husband In Winter: Are you locked in ice?/Held in your space/till spring's return?/When I swim in summer's sun/will your fingers/brush across my breasts/outline the edges/of my lips, open,/waiting for your kiss?/I dream of you/in all your forms --/whole and healthy,/muscles taut,/pulling me close./Our slow despair/as you wilted/like my yellow tulips/in their bowl./Now your ashes meld/and freeze with sand/while I hunger/for the blue of sky,/of lake, the feel/of your drifting hands.
