Summary:
• The poets driving from her parents home to Cochin by car, her mother by her side—sleeping –open mouthed very pale, colorless and frail‐like a dead body indicating that her end was near.
• The poet looks at her and feels intense pain and agony to realize that soon death will cast her mother from her.
• Tries to divert her mind, looks outside at the young trees and happy children bursting out of their homes in a playful mood (a contrasting image)
• After the security check at the airport looked again at her mother’s face—pale and cold.
• “Familiar ache‐My childhood fear” –the poet has always had a very intimate and close relationship with her mother and she has always felt the fear of being separated from her mother hence it is familiar.
