This poem by Emily Dickinson was pretty hard for me to follow. This poem is about death. Emily writes A LOT about death. I think that it is something that either worries her or something she thinks worries people. Although in her writing it seems like she has a positive view towards death. I think in the first line when she says "empty my heart" she could be talking about getting ride of like sins or feelings in her heart. I know people also said they thought Dickinson was saying that the heart was being emptied of blood, but I don't know if I agree with that statement or not. I definitely think that Dickinson is talking about the body and what happens to it when we die. I think the whole "heart emptied" thing goes along with dieing or, the "dieing" could be getting heart broken. And since you are heart broken, you feel empty. This poem was pretty confusing for me, but it was still fun to read, and I do like Emily Dickinson's writing. 1205462457
