This is an example: In the poem “Trash” by Nicole Cooley, She explores many different topics. Some of these topics are motherly love, Illness, work, and even death. The theme that is intensified the most within the poem is mothery love. Nicole speaks on behalf of what her daughters had to go through in their lives. For example, on lines 8-10 Nicole states ” Could save us. This was before I strained to hear the latch of my breath. In the basement where she was alone and quarantined, before refrigerated trucks Held bodies in Elmhurst for weeks, before my mother exited the future”. Here Nicole word choice, such as “strained” and “latch”, emphasizes the struggle she endured and even pain when here daughter was quarintined in her basement and she couldnt help her. In lines 11-12, Nicole says ” I would like to unfurl, unspool, lie down on the sidewalk and close my eyes. I would like to press my face into the dirt where my mother is not buried”. I believe the emotion that Nicole is trying to convey into the audience here is a feeling of exhuastion. Nicole uses words such as “unfurl”,”unspool”, and “lie down”. All of these words signifying a form of rest. The audience can empathize with this line because everyone in their life has once felt exhuasted with things in their life.
