Change - Max Reif

[Larry Robinson]

Change

The air is changed today,
soaked in eucalyptus and moisture.
Today this is a place
I want to visit!

Memories: the long daily processions
up the steps from Parking,
along the path to our door, 
the sun no friend
or just back from being possessed 
by a  stern twin.


Pockets of sweetness
the days I had to venture out early,
when God was still giving out
kisses on the breeze.

Now, everything new
like the first snow that year in St. Louis
covering and making unrecognizable
the already strange shapes of brick,
metal. and the tarpapered roof
of that odd old apartment building.

Perhaps the purpose of monotony
is only to make room
for something amazing
waiting to happen.
