Question

Why does the poetess look back her mother again in the poem My Mother at Sixty-six?

Answer 1

Answer:

The poetess, Kamala Das, has been afraid of losing her mother ever since she was a Lil child. That day she was going abroad and she thought what if she won't see her mum when she'd return back home. So she looked one last look at her just as she'd fix her features in her mind, and remember what her mother looked like.
