Lament's Transform

About this poem

I reflect on the passage of grief, symbolized by autumn's fading grandeur. Using vivid imagery, I depict the process of easing sorrow's burden, from lulling it to sleep with chloroform to illuminating its depths with X-rays and painting its essence with Van Gogh's brushstrokes. Through these actions, I explore the transformative nature of grief, ultimately suggesting a journey from darkness to artistic expression and catharsis.
