I interpret this as being about a loved one that has died. Overall, the poem feels a bit melodramatic, especially S4. I think this has to do with the parts that are repeated seeming cliche (“Oh” in S4, and “It’s so sad” in S1 and S2). I don’t like the use of the word vellichor, but I see how it connects with pages. I think overall the poem is confusing, and I had to do a good deal of reading between the lines to come up with a narrative that sort of made sense.
