When the Moon Grows Full

When the moon grows full, a story howls from deep precincts of the psyche. It wants to remain in the dark, yet bask in moonlight. It was asked to stay incognito, out of bounds for the civilized world.

I feel it growing inside me like an expectant mother, knowing that eventually, it will see lights of the world. I may nurse it or dream about it, but it will take its own predetermined shape.

On a New Moon night, it kicks imposed walls. I don’t know how many more phases it will wax and wane, and finally be seen.
