My Mother At Sixty-Six
How has the poetess portrayed her mother when she was beside her?
The poetess was going to the Cochin Airport with her mother. While driving she saw her mother in a dozing condition like the other old people. Her mouth was open and her face looked pale, colourless and faded like the ash. This represents the ageing process of her mother. She was like a withered moon of the late winter.
