Answer:
The meaning of the poem shifts and makes the poet think of what is happening at the moment and to know if there is someone whom the poet, too, can call.
Explanation:
"At Dusk" is a poem penned by Natasha Trethewey. The poem speaks about the independent choices that one makes regardless of the voices of 'owners' or 'parents'. The poet has used 'the cat' to symbolize the independence as cats are very independent animals and they chose their path to take.
From lines 1 to 20, the poet focuses on the sights and sounds that the neighbor is making to call her cat at home.
From line 21, there is a shift in the poem. The neighbor has gone given up calling her cat and went inside the house and left the speaker wondering what the neighbor must be doing while waiting for her cat to come.
"She’s given up calling for now, let me
to imagine her inside the house waiting,
perhaps in a chair in front of the TV,
or walking around, doing small tasks;"
The second shift is that poet, too, wonders if there is someone to call home,
"let me to wonder that I too might lit
my voice, sure of someone out there".
Line 21 shows that we must let each one go his own way.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The poem begins with a woman calling for her cat that has left the house.
- Cats are free and independent beings and do not always respond to the call of their owners, as they do not like to be controlled.
- The cat's owner wants to control it, but on line 21 she gives up and stops calling it.
The beginning of the poem shows how we tend to control the people we care about, but line 21 shows that we should let people go the way they want.
