body, my home
My steed, my hound, what shall I do when you die?
Where shall I sleep?
How to gallop?
How to hunt?
without me
Eager and swift mount, where can I go?
When my body—my clever and obedient hound—is dead, how do I know whether the road ahead full of thorns is danger or treasure?
Lying under the sky, with no roof, nor door, nor lookout window
How will it feel?
Unpredictable clouds, how should I hide?
