Aunt…
Aunt Jennifer’s tigers prance across a screen
Energetic and playful
Tgiers are emblems of power
They do…
They do not fear the men beneath the tree;
The tigers are masters of their jungle domain
Fingers…
Fingers fluttering through her wool
Alliteration
Sharp contrast with the tigers. Aunt Jennifer is weakk and anxious
The massive
The massive weight of Uncle’s wedding band / Sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer’s hand.
Emotional weight
It restricts her
Wedding band here comes to symbolise her husbands power and control over her.
Still ringed…
Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
Even in death she’s timid and oppressed.
The tigers…
The tigers in the panel that she made / Will go on prancing, proud and unafraid.
This contrasts the transcience of life compared to the enducing power of art.
