I felt a Funeral, in my Brain

"I felt a Funeral, in my Brain" by Emily Dickinson

I feel like the title of this poem should be I am having a Funeral of my Brain. The poem seems to describe that the speaker is having something leave their brain. Also, the poem seems to correlate with someone who is growing old. As someone grows old, their memories and brain perseverance seem to diminish and sometimes they might find themselves feeling alienated. Through this, the person can feel alone when they forget something that they might think they should remember. Some of the poem such as in the third stanza seems to recognize that information was being lost yet find themselves missing information. The third stanza seems to be a break in the memory of the speaker as the speaker might remember something as they heard a "creak across my Soul" (Dickinson, 776). Following that, the speaker seems to feel alone as they notice the space in their brain where the memory previously was. The capitalizing of certain words also puts emphasis on the empty, lonely, and alienated feeling the speaker has as they are losing some of their memory. Lastly, the wording and placement of the title seems to put emphasis where the speaker might be unsure. The speaker seems to be conscious of the funeral for what they know yet pause before the statement that it is in their brain. The unsure nature of the title also seems to correlate that the person must have something similar to Dementia.
