terracotta is the color of clay,
dirt, earth, soil
it is the resplendent sun behind
a row of cypress trees
sunrise skipping across
cobblestone streets
and farmhouse vases on a
windowsill
it is the color of tile rooftops
clay pots overflowing with red
geraniums
flower boxes in balconies and
windows
terracotta is the color of Italy
and it speaks to my soul.
