Well, I guess I was the blur one instead... Anyway, Dickinson doesn't really have titles for her poem, and from the little that I know pp (editors) have used numbers to identify her poems. Lke the poem dabido mentioned, is numbered 425. As for the dashes, there are theories for it, but I don't know what the reasons attributed, but I guess (from the little that i read) there are more of stylistic devices to mark pauses in the rhythm (sometimes as a point of departure, or tension). Dabido, yup...I have read that poem before and it too has stumped me for a long time (most Dickinson poetry do), until I read some criticisms, From the little I remembered, a good guess would be her spirit who has been freed from the body...and the poem deals (possible, plays) with the social setting (aura) at deathbeds where those devoutly puritan people (19th c) will go about in those sorrowful/penitent wats, fixated on the spectre of death. Dear Minishorts,

I hope u r feeling better now and that the storm has passed (I’ve to ba careful then what I say then). Well, I guess I was the blur one instead…

And then I thought about her too and what would have become of her if her poetry were never found. Hey 1775 copies, that's not an easy feat you know. Then again I think I have over 1000 gathered blog entries already. Heh. I'm no Emily though, I hardly dash my writings. and They're not even halfway like hers.

I don't think she was dead when she wrote it at all! That Emily ... always a kidder! :-) I still don’t know how she wrote, ‘I heard a fly buzz when I died’ …. like, did her corpse keep writing?

And she wrote beautifully of that sensation. Seems to me that Emily was always observing from the outside in. And she wrote beautifully of that sensation.
