Fado

What do we do with Fado, this guitar sound and
guttural Portuguese voice that has a twang of
Arabia in its heart and is pure poesy.
 
Life, loss, longing and the finality of death, is in
songs that celebrate love’s unbearable sweetness,
our tragedy and the unobtainable.
 
Yes, sing me a Fado, let me hear the guitar and
I will close my eyes, float in a sea of melancholy
and remember you.
