This poem tells the story of a mother who had her son taken away to a prison.
It is very depressing and sad, she stands by the gates for 17 months while she awaits to see her son. Another lady in line asked her to write a poem about her experiences, so this was the result.
The poem is told in first person, there are many "I" references
In the poem, she is standing outside in shivering siberia. She talks of death and also addresses her madness, "now madness half shadows my soul with its wing" 572
themes-
war, death, dedication, motherhood
