Yeats beach

Yeats sweetened
death
as love
becomes the worm

Was never
to my mind
the thoughts
I deserved

Yet sweet death
has come now
into my thoughts
time to time

And love
has taken
a more
circuitous climb

So that one
seems as close
as the other
out of reach

And my life
seems as lost
as the fairie isles
and Yeats’ beach
