  Now that my storehouse
  has burned down, nothing
  conceals the moon.
This piece instantly reminded me of Ashes and Snow movie, where one of the poems has very similar opening (followed, in my opinion, by even more beautiful piece, which you can easily find if interested):

  Ever since my house burnt down,
  I see the moon more clearly
I wonder whether or not this is just a coincidence.
