on the job

 

 

 

 

temporarily under construction

 

 

 

 

 
   
 
   
the mariachi

 

the mariachi slowly assembled

 

strings were resting but impatient

 

 

it had been a while

 

their appetite for satiating

 

 

first mac, then val and raphael

 

fingers had softened in reprieve

 

 

smile to smile to smile

 

they knew there’d be some blisters

 

 

instruments were gently touched

 

it would be worth it, it always was

 

 

old friends, they had been waiting

 

the mariachi knew no resistors

the runner

 

just ten more minutes she told herself

 

reluctantly she raised the blanket

 

 

then snuggled into the bed

 

and prepared to hit the road

 

 

it was warm, it was a womb

 

she knew she’d feel much better

 

 

for body, soul, and head

 

quite wonderful in fact

 

 

snooze button once, and then twice

 

after getting in the groove of it

 

 

it was a steady goad

 

after starting the first act

- the gift of RAVEL -

 

 

 

 

 

what to give, oh what to give

 

 

to the one who has everything

 

 

why not a gift of the raven’s words

 

 

through them your care will sing

 

 

 

 

 

RAVEL can soothe a troubled heart

 

 

he knows of love, ‘tis true

 

 

so sing the mariachi

 

 

each instrument on cue

 

 

 

 

 

RAVEL can coax a smile from

 

 

the parent taking care

 

 

of children, dishes and laundry mountains

 

 

day in, day out – with flair

 

 

 

 

 

RAVEL is out there in the dawn

 

 

a stellar view from a high wire

 

 

calling out, encouraging

 

 

a cacophonous feathered choir

 

 

 

 

 

RAVEL works hard and shares with those

 

 

who greet the world each day

 

 

coffee, newspaper, cell phone – check

 

 

palm pilot – lead the way

 

 

 

 

 

so delight yourself with a subscription

 

 

and delight the heart of a friend

 

 

we can only do what we can when we can

 

 

and so each other we tend
