It has been for many years

I would like to see it warm

But I live alone

With my dog

On a remote Scottish island

I am something of a recluse

And am considered a little odd

By the people of the town

But these people do not know me

And mistake my shyness for reserve

A few women have passed

Through my lonely life

You can find them in my poems
