Lily lunches late on a ledge beneath the last familiar
tree she will pass. She lingers with ghosts and memories.

Day 1.6
Lily lunches late on a ledge beneath the last familiar
tree she will pass. She lingers with ghosts and memories.
Day 1.5
The first six miles into the eastern wilderness
are familiar. She almost believes today is any
other day and this walk is any other walk.

Day 1.4
Now ready for her own travels, Lily takes
a basket as a helmet and storms the gates
to the wild outdoors.
(Then closes them behind her.)
Day 1.3
She considers using her daily parcel of magic to bring him back.
She conjures bacon and muffins for her breakfast instead.

Day 1.2
Lily also finds a scroll tied with a yellow ribbon.
Wyett had left a map.
Day 1
The chilly dawn seeps over the sill to illuminate a gift
from Wyett: a physical echo of his voice saying her name.
Lily smiles.
All of Day 0
Here are all the posts from Day 0 all in a tidy line.

The live, in their quiet way, on the wild southern frontier.
Lily and Wyett run wild in summer, curl up in winter, perennially in love.
One deceptively peaceful day, horsemen break the silence as they gallop
through the fields with news of chaos and battle in the northwest
By the time Wyett announces his wish to join them and aid his homeland,
Lily has his bags ready: packed with provisions and love.
"Travel to Parlion on the safety of the eastern road.
I will find you there when there is once again peace
on the northern border."
"While you defend the defenseless, I'll search the eastern slopes
for purest color and brightest sounds, making secrets and things unseen."
"And will you miss me?"
"Any day I don't see you, I miss you"
"And do you love me?"
"As long as light casts shadow,
I will love you"
Lily and Wyett have one last dinner together
before they begin their solitary journeys.
They speak only with their eyes.
They curl together deep into the night.
Knowing daybreak will bring loneliness,
both fight sleep as long as they are able.
After falling into a doze, Lily opens
her eyes to find herself in deep darkness.
She is spared and denied a painful goodbye.
