                     Did Yeats Regret


                 his former loves
the many muses of his past?

his Eileens his Virginias
his Pamelas his Pams

did Pound muse on
Olga when with Dot
on Shakespeare when with Rudge?

do painters pine for models
they painted once
incompletely?

do subjects
never cease to spring
loves never die
once laid gently
in memory?

aye
