Dear Colton,
Please learn how to spell "of" before you make such a bold comment on a
extremely talented poet such as Emily Dickenson referring to her as a
"retard". I believe that this poem is a reflection of her opinion on death.
because she has experienced so much of it she has become null to the shear
concept of death and views it very morbidly by saying after you die the
flies buzz around your lifeless body.

She expresses her feelings during time of years when she was surrounded by
death from the people who where very close to her. She mourns their deaths
and brings her sadness, and feelings out that there is no life after death,
just rotting to be nothing more than decaying bodies surrounded by flies

Emily Dickinson viewpoint of the problem of death and dying is quite
unusual.She lived a very different life.

Emily created this poem to express the way she was feeling about her life
at the time. She wrote her poems based on her feelings of her life,
herself, and the very fewpeople involved in her life at that certain time.

Emily Dickinson, was sorounded in her life by the deaths of others, this
are the kind of situations that make people question the existance of God
and Heaven.She says what portion of me be. To me she is questioning, what
will happen to me when I die. Because I could not see the see. I could not
see or believe in god.

I think there are great big huge hints, like the fact that she never
married or had children. That aside, I feel this is very much about death
and about Emily's existentialism - her doubts about a great beyond. To me
this reads like an old b&w film that is cutting out at the end, where you
see that hair (or that fly) on the lens of the projector just before the
light snaps out. Emily is imagining that there is nothing after that. The
fascination in that last moment is that the fly sensed the inevitable, and
was there for it, along with the narrator.
I heard a Fly buzz -- when I died --
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air --
Between the Heaves of Storm --
The Eyes around -- had wrung them dry --
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset -- when the King
Be witnessed -- in the Room --
I willed my Keepsakes -- Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable -- and then it was
There interposed a Fly --
With Blue -- uncertain stumbling Buzz --
Between the light -- and me --
And then the Windows failed -- and then
I could not see to see --

'Died' is not an actual reference to death. The majority of her poems are
based on love, and there are slight hints that she was not loved in return.
Death could be an exaggurated description of how she felt at this time.

when the narrator wills away her keepsakes she gave her soul to God, her
possessions to her loved ones and her body to be devoured by the fly. The
reason she could not "see to see" is because She was no longer able to
stare down at her dead body because she was going on to heaven and it would
be foul to watch herself be eaten by a hungrey stumbling fly!

i think that dickinson choosed the word FLY as the only aspect of life ,
because when someone die there is a worms in his body this worms eat his
body then it change to another thing which is the FLY ( the PLUE FLY )
which existed in graves .
FLY is areference to death and life at the same time , it is a fly moving
and flying it is indication to life . It is a mark for death as it only
found near dead bodyes and graves. THAT IS WAT I THINK ABOUT....FLY.... ,
