Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

A Quiver

A quiver
  a nod
the slightest toss
  of her hair

A purse of her lips
  a shy crease
playing at the edges of
  her sealed mouth

A gesture
  imperceptible
a moment's tilting
  of a finger

The most
  indeterminate
of steps
  forward now  

Stop
heart
  await
