They say no man is an island
But
Browsing bruised among the status updates
Tags and wallposts, well-located namechecks
Furling forward like a procurator’s scroll
And canting solemn litanies of shindigs no one texted me about -

I am Rockall on a windy night
Cruel-peaked, storm petrel’d and covered in puffin shite.

Certificate 15
New poems
Autobiography

I liked the sparseness of this litle tale. Suits the image of Rockall I think.

Glad you like the ending, MaliciousMudkip, it was nearly "Guillemot guano". I may yet change my mind..

I love Jon Bon Jovi and it's nice of you to quote him at the start of your poem (which is a little belter by the way) :-)
