Examples
Barn's burnt down
Barn's burnt down --
now
I can see the moon.
Alternate translation:[3]
Since my house burned down
I now own a better view
of the rising moon
When bird passes on
When bird passes on --
like moon,
a friend to water.
Masahide's Death Poem
while I walk on
the moon keeps pace beside me:
friend in the water
gollark: I mean, yes, you need coroutines.
gollark: That shouldn't need a rewrite?
gollark: This is why PotatOS blocks browsers.
gollark: Even I could do better than this if I wanted to make a browser, which I do not.
gollark: Oh, buildroot is good, sure.
