Free Write on "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain"

I think the author, Emily Dickinson, felt like her brain was dead since she had titled the poem, "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain." She had described how there was a ceremony for the funeral and a coffin. She also described that she was alone in Heaven and dropped down until she hit the world, finished. By reading the poem, I can imagine seeing the funeral as described by the author and I think the author was describing how she died from drowning and was seeing her funeral take place.
