22. Which sentence describes a shift in the poem’s focus?
I know why, getting up in the cold dawn
you paint cold yellow houses
and silver trees. Look at those green birds, almost real,
and that lonely child looking

10 are delivered to them,
bound by chains of nerves and genes
stronger than iron or steel, although
unseen. You have painted every day
for as long as I can remember
15 and will be painting still
when you read this, some cold
and distant December when the child
is old and the trees no longer silver
but black fingers scratching a grey sky.
