Trojan Poetry 64: "Question" by May Swenson




Question
by May Swenson

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?
