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?
