Visitors are no longer wanted, nor is sympathy. Perhaps this is a way of providing closure and creating a somewhat dead world before actually passing on. I feel that the speaker has come to that point of closure; then she sees a fly: “Signed away What portion of me be Assignable-and then it was There interposed ... has closed out all that was her life, and is ready to pass on, when the presence of a pesky fly seems to catch her attention. The introduction of this fly - a part of the world she has closed out - signals that her life is not quite complete. Perhaps she has not succeeded in gaining final closure.
