I Remeber the Room was Filled with Light

In class we talked about how a title can change a whole poem with untitled  by the person i can't remember now.  I think that kinda happens with this poem. When i read the title it reminded me of a hospital because when i think of bright rooms i think of someone dying which just makes this a sad poem just from the title even when this poem has nothing to do with that.

This poem to me is about a family that is poor and it has taken such a toll on the parents that they have began to resent each other. They have stopped speaking to each other and are only staying together for the child. i can tell they stopped talking because of the line "i ran to her, though she could hear" this means that even though she simply could have answered the question because she heard him ask but she refuses to.  i can tell they stay together because of the child because of the last line "i danced between them, forgiveness in my cup, wise messenger of the gods, their child." this means that no matter how mad they get at each other they will always have their child to keep them together. i think the "messenger of the gods" means that the author thinks his parents are meant to be together. the gods want them together and that is why they sent him down to keep them together for always. i like the line "i stood at the brim of a wound just healing" which means that the parents had recently gotten into the fight and it was just starting to get better.
