*The Color of Sighs*
Sometimes when a sigh escapes
the body
like love
it is inhaled again
on the next breath.
Sometimes a sigh is caught
on the wings
of a passing moth
and consumed
like wool.
Sometimes when a sigh escapes
the body
it is scattered
by the blades
of a cooling fan.
A sigh escaped from
the body
invisible, intangible
often dissipates
dissolves
like love. What color is it then?

days
