Steven Federle Poems

in the human community
laughter fills the air,
deep voiced fathers, uncles,
small children laughing, playing tag,
...

soft days, warm nights, life
flows into life, seasons melt
to hazy light; hold fast

my love, and don't let
...

in
depth of
distance, past
silent, wide fields, past
...

Cloudless thunder
splits the sky
as white planes rise
on red fire.
...

In the day’s final glow
all colors flow
to the whispering breeze,
dark, rustling
...

feverish movement
a circle of light
in the darkened hall
...

Deep in my core
beats my living heart.
...

Soft and spoiled
apples cling to shifting limb,
foregoing taut skin
for molten brown,
...

Your breath

your voice
summer soft
...
