The moon was full tonight or it felt like it.
I saw it when walking to the churchyard.
Such a satisfying sight; full and complete.
And as I walked, I remembered, it was still a couple of days to the full moon in October.
I am such a fool for the full that I am a fool in full!
The full moon tonight was no fool;
It was carefully round, and I enjoyed its carefulness!
The Sleeping Gypsy (detail), 1897, Henri Rousseau
I took the photo in 2008 in MOMA.*
*It was hard to be far from New York and this smiling mustached moon in one of my favorite paintings.

Masoud-e Aziz,
Thanks for your heart warming comment.
No the church closes after 5pm; I never went inside of it. It is this Roman church 4 blocks to my building. I just walk there and sit on a bench under this single tree in the churchyard.
مسعود عزیز
هذیان کامل بودن شبانه روز گرفتارم میکند: دیوانه ماه کامل: دیوانه کمال: کمالی که فقط در ذهن یافت میشود و در اسمان هم اگر به نظر بیابد از دسترس دور است و فقط در نظر است.
