Swan
I thought that it was you
turning to me for an instant
from the blindness of the water,
a pure white question
with its underwater dream in tow
softening the stones at my feet.
I thought that it was you
and if not you, then love itself
tacking perfectly towards me,
rocking in its own beauty,
the circles backing out
like people not quite believing.
Wild Women Press, a poetry and literature organisation in Cumbria, asked female photographers to help raise money and awareness of Diabetes in children. Each photographer collaborated with a male poet to create an image for exhibition and calendar.

Poem by Polly Clark
Male poet (muse) Segun Lee-French
Vik and Adam Clark, who have produced the calendar, organised two exhibitions and a silent auction, are inspired by their young son, Django, who has Diabetes Type One.
The exhibition will be moving to London in February. I will keep you informed.
Everyone who has helped with this project has done so for free so it really would be wonderful if you would support the cause by buying a calendar or donating. Thank you! x
