"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone"
The speaker of this poem seems to be addressing her whole town. He or she wants everyone to know that their spouse has just died, and thinks that the town should be shut down so everyone can come mourn with him/her. The reason that the poet is displaying this public greif is because he/she is so upset that their spouse died and they want everyone to know it.
