Who
is that man?
Sitting
in Alfama Square
pen
and paper in hand.
The
flowing hair of Jesus,
the
charisma of Che Guarvra.
Is
he a liberator,
liberating
us with a word?

'Fado' [Portuguese: destiny, fate]. Fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics. Fado is usually linked to the Portuguese word 'saudade'. Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or melancholic longing for absent and beloved people and places. Fado is full of yearning, desire and homesickness. I'm often a stranger in strange lands, even in my home town Melbourne. From Fez to Lisbon to London - this is my Fado my poetry.
