Volcanoes be in sicily
And South America
I judge from my Geography-
Volcanoes nearer here
A Lava step at any time
Am I inclined to climb-
ACrater I may contemplate
Vesuvius at Home.
and....
The Bustle in a House
The morning after Death
Is solemnest of industries
Enacted upon Earth-
The sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.

All of Emily Dickinson's poetry is innuendo.

I'm not sure about the first one, I'm sorry.
The bustle in a house... It's about the moring after a loved one has died. I connect it as a parent (because I lost my dad young) but it could be a lover or a child, even a friend. It's saying how melancholy the house is the next moring after you've found out someone has died- because life is never gonna be the same, and it's one of the saddest times.
It's saying you want to put your heart up and never love... because it's not worth it to lose someone you love and go through that kind of pain again... it's better to be loveless and guard your heart.
Beautiful poem.
