You can tell by the use of his imagery in "I Sat Belonely" for example. He says he is looking up to the sky and he hears a voice. This could be him saying that even though his mother is gone he still hears her. 
> His tone was upset and sad, which makes sense if he is talking about the loss of his mother. 
> His form is rhyming narrative poetry]]> 2017-05-04 11:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/399725/uomiuwrxotd1/wish/169900458 399725 https://padlet.com/399725/uomiuwrxotd1/wish/169900645 2017-05-04 11:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/399725/uomiuwrxotd1/wish/169900645 399725 https://padlet.com/399725/uomiuwrxotd1/wish/170211480 2017-05-05 15:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/399725/uomiuwrxotd1/wish/170211480
