Dear Otea:

What is the most beautiful color?

Cara Mia:

The most beautiful color is the one that receives all of your rainbow. It is the pigment that is strong enough to envelope every last liquid drop of your love and your loss. Wrapped in the tent of its tint, the arcobaleno of your body bows towards more of all this sky.


For me, it is caramello and camel. The crema that coats the bottom of the cup. The silvered spuma that ices the crest of the wave. My bare feet meeting every microcosm of sabbia, in the buff. The honey and aranciata set of sun on the edge of the field where I let all my colors run.


Your most beautiful color always becomes you. Against it, you will become you in every light.


Un abbraccio forte,

Otea
