This was undoubtedly a love poem and Lee said it was about his wife. I think it could be presumed that is their first time and is basically what this poem is centered around. It includes his memories all the way to his childhood and what his farther taught him about memory. “Your sunken belly is the daily cup of milk I drank as a boy before Morning Prayer.” I felt that this poem expressed the fear of gratefulness of love. This room that he describes will be the place that he goes to in his memory to remember this special moment in time. “Ill close my eyes and recall this room and everything in it:” His descriptions are incredible to where you felt like you were there. “Your scent, that scent of spice and a wound, I’ll let stand for mystery. It’s like time has paused in the poem with every descriptions and little detail you would think he was looking at a picture afterwards because it would take some time to realize particular things like the book on the windowsill. “The book on the windowsill, riffled by wind the even numbered pages are the past, the odd-numbered pages, the future. The sun is God, your body is milk. I think this poem because even more special since they eventually married.
