to go back in those days where her ancestors lived through memories.
Explanation:
In the poem "New Orleans", the word 'memory' first appears in line 19. The poet connects the readers through the word 'memory' in her poem by letting the readers know about her longingness to meet her ancestors and tribe who once lived in Mississippi.
The poet mentions about the memories of her people by saying that it runs down in her blood. She tells that all heroic stories of her ancestors and creeks were made of memories.
The possible theme about memory that the poet wants to connect would be by letting the readers know that she longs to go back in those days where her ancestors lived and which would be only through memories.
