May Swenson: "Question"

Body my house 
my horse my hound 
what will I do 
when you are fallen

Where will I sleep 
How will I ride 
What will I hunt

Where can I go 
without my mount 
all eager and quick 
How will I know 
in thicket ahead 
is danger or treasure 
when Body my good 
bright dog is dead

How will it be 
to lie in the sky 
without roof or door 
and wind for an eye

With cloud for shift 
how will I hide?
