The poet, while leaving her parent’s home, observes her mother’s pallid face. For the poet, the ‘ashen’ face of her mother, lost of all vitality and colour, bears resemblance to a corpse. She realises, with pain, that her mother has grown old and is nearing her death. Such thoughts make her recollect her childhood fear and anxiety of losing her mother. The idea of getting separated from her mother distresses her. Even her smiles are an expression of her helplessness at the face of what is inevitable.

Hey !!
Poet Kamala Das in the poem ''My Mother At Sixty-Six'' has captured the subtlety of human relationship in lyrical idioms. She says when she saw the pale, corpse like face of her mother her childhood pain and ache resurfaced. Time and ageing, nor has it spared her mother and she is painted to think that she wouldn't be spared too. Ageing separation and death cannot be avoided by one.
Good luck !!
