Poems Read on Weekend

Only three poems have stayed with me from weekend reading.

One from here on Medium; one from a remaindered book and one from a selected poems: all by women, gone, very old or very young.

All three poems had an echo of another by famous men and all three poets may have connections (the one now gone is known to the aging poet) I will never need to know.

Segue:

Poesis in Japanese is rather different than I would have suspected as an educated English speaker raised in a Dominion of Queen Elizabeth.
