In My Mother at Sixty-six, the poet tries to divert her mind from the sadness of seeing her mother’s frailty by focusing on the external world. As she watches the “young trees sprinting” past the car, she attempts to distract herself with the lively scene of youth and vitality. This imagery of the trees in motion contrasts with the stillness of her mother’s aging form, and the poet’s gaze shifts to the natural surroundings in an effort to push aside her deep fear and sorrow about her mother’s aging and inevitable mortality.
