This isn't about giving birth; it's about being pregnant. The high-rising
loaf is the way her stomach looks and the Mexian Jumping bean is how the
baby feels inside her. It's a wonderful poem; I have to say. One of the
few Plath poems I have read that I actually enjoyed.

Plath is celebrating the birth of a child. she was used to giving birth to
stillborn children (read poem "stillborn") she wrote the first verse b4 the
child was born, you can tell because it says 'Gilled like a fish' which is
telling you that the baby is still in her stomach. also is says that the
child is 'Wrapped up in yourself like a spool' which is her description of
the child all curled up inside of her. the baby is 'mute' inside of her,
'trawls' in her darkness, and has her feet to the stars. it is quite
obvious the baby is still in her womb. the second verse is also written wen
the child was inside of her, it proves it by "Bent-backed Atlas" there are
so many different meanings to this poem, and i dont have time to finish it.

There is a grace in the image of new birth and pregnancy that 'You're'
creates; 'A creel of eels, all ripples' is something I'm sure mothers can
relate to and the simple hope of the last line: 'A clean slate, with your
own face on.' to me at least is evocative of the of the peace, however
brief, that Sylvia Plath did find in being a mother (A new chance to start
over).

You're
Unintelligible like yesterday's message drawn on the beach.
Overrated - the finishing blind mare on a darkened track. Last poobug
topping an abandoned turd.
The 40th candle on a stranger's 41st cake.
Jabberwocky-wanna-seem. Ununderstood, interpreted nearly well with an
upside down book.
