HOME    1,000th piece of fiction posted to the due South Fiction
Archive 

The companion pieces, "HOME" and "SHIMMERING" were posted to The Closet
list as part of our flurry of "COTW" Fix-it responses, and will be
eventually posted to the Archive as well. However, I thought that people
might enjoy seeing a sneak preview. I wrote this in one sitting. It simply
flowed.

 *By GILDA LILY*
 
  I hear your name
                          Whispered on the wind,
                  As it blows harshly
 Across frozen tundra.
 
 I see your face
 In a leaden sky,
 Sometimes somber,
 Sometimes joyous,
 And my lips ache
 To touch yours.
 
  I feel your body
 Next to mine,
 As the fire crackles
 And I try to sleep.
 
  I had once thought
 That home was ice and snow
 And stunning clearness
 Of air and sky.
 
  Now I know
 That home is
 Where you are, Ray.
 
 My heart weeps.
