I love you, says the clock, paradoxically silent, watching through
The night with red eyes. I love you, says the long wooden table
Across from the wide bed with the bookcase upright beside it, the
Black lamp arching over, the old computer waiting for its word
I love you, I love you, the echoes, reaches of the tall room
The hanging pictures, the catalogs, clothes, the cat securely
Sleeping on the disheveled old couch, the pulled-up small rug
Put over its cushions, all say it, the enclosing, dear room
The balcony above which opens at each end to bedrooms of the
Children. I love you, says Hannah's ample, particular heart
Says Will's wide, responsive heart, says each resonance of every
Sweet morning's opening, here said again and again: I love you
