Lunar sun dial, also referred to as moondial, is only accurate on the night of the full moon. Each night following, it becomes an additional (on average) 48 minutes slow, while every night preceding the full moon it is (on average) 49 minutes fast, if there is even enough light by which to take a reading.
Thus, one week to either side of the full moon the moondial will read 5 hours and 36 minutes before or after the proper time. More advanced moondials can include charts showing exact calculations to get the correct time, as well as dials designed with latitude and longitude. Moondials are very closely associated with lunar gardening (night-blooming plants) and comprehensive gardening books will often refer to them; indeed, the original biodynamic farming.

Flesh tones of white peach
ripe apricot and
abundant facial hair
the courseness of old lady pubes
hangs from the slack jaw of every gent
staring down from history.
-
The bloody suffering of Titian’s Jesus
eyes fearful and heavy with doubt
emits ecclesiastical incense
through 16th century paint strokes.
-
Dead black eyes
express Rubens’ despair,
his love of God
rivaled by joy evoked
at the beauty of
Jesus’ suffering.
-
Hanging game bird
elegantly undressed
given life by Hiepes,
their colorful coats
surround a plucked chicken
skin the yellow of jaundice
and furry hare with silken ears
and hollowed out bellies.
-
Zumbaran’s small Merino lamb
rests peacefully
eyes closed as if counting brethren,
her legs bound mercilessly
pewter platter set nearby
expectantly.
-
Velázquez’s life weary eyes and
severity of line
contrast
Spain’s Golden Age,
oozing voluptuous
embroidered cloth
bountifully laid tables
heaving cleavage and naked children
oysters on wooden tables
love of Church
food and wine and
fucking.
