Singing with the Mariachi

He didn't wear
The red ribbon around the neck
The black suit with metallic chains
The crisp, white shirt

He wore
His beige shirt
His leathery, brown skin
His grin, a wide river

And sang
Arms open, reaching
Eyes closed, searching
For the exact sound

Of home
Of that someone
With all of Mexico
Behind him
