One Thousand Sighs Till Tomorrow

as yesterdays hand 
slips off my shoulder,
and tomorrows embrace
takes my lips


in this,  today
I breathe a thousand
sighs 
and soar 
a breathless wind


I’ve heaved the night
until the day broke


and stood in the middle
of all and nothing


and now, 
I live
in the Milli seconds
between this word


and the next
