Poem by David Farrell

A poem kindly contributed by photographer David Farrell, who we were privileged to have stay on our island last month, as part of our Artists' Residency 2010.

Back in the shoebox, daily

On a hat-shaped island
Somewhere in the west
Where the wind still blows through my silvery hair
And the last Swallow of summer falls from a blood red sky.
