to me at the beginning of her poem it is talking about how everything piles
up in her head and is stuck there. the second part is about a weird feeling
in her stomach. she does not want to remember why it feels like this. a
future lost yesterday is talking about a life, how she had a miscarriage.
when she is talking about the tennis ball and the starlight is it saying
how you know it's there and you can see it, but in a blink of an eye it's
gone

Trying to find the significance of the date.
April 18 1958 - Sylvia recorded some 'excruciatingly formal' poems with Ted
Hughes beside her, watching over her. In these recordings can be found
"November Graveyard" and "Lady Lazarus".
Other significant historical events on April 18:
1775: Paul Revere begins ride through Massachusetts, "The Brittish are
coming".
1906: Earthquake in San Francisco (over 500 killed)
1942: U.S. planes first bomb Japan WWII
1949: Republic of Ireland independence declaration.
