Three Tanka on Impermanence

Three Tanka on Impermanence

I
grass growing
through the concrete cracks;
roots spreading
and loosening the stones -
nature's transplant rejection

II
mossy roof,
a cabin in the woods,
nature swallows
and digests all intruders
if given enough time

III
every living thing
becomes food in due time;
i'm fungi food;
should a wolf crack my corpse bones,
who am i to complain?
