The visuals of this piece are awesome, one could almost hear the night serenade of your talented mariachi crickets. Excellent figurative language. It is indeed a pleasure to have read such a fine haiku. I thank you Raul for sharing the read and for reading 'The Mulberry Tree' I truly appreciate it. God Bless, Always, Adell

those crickets can get loud when you can't sleep, though I love the night calls.
