Robyn's Guesthouse in Columbus Ravine ..



Robyn's Guesthouse
is in Columbus Ravine - 

I'm stretched out on the bed watching White House Down

Seagulls are brawling above the rooftops -

We'd walked up from Royal Albert Drive -  

A few dads had put up wind breaks on the North Sands -

Girls with tattoos played Crazy Golf - 

The castle was no longer hidden by rain - 

On each side of the street almost every villa was a guesthouse - 

I wondered who might be staying, say, in Jadellas or in the Delmont Hotel

What thoughts were now going through their heads, I wondered - 

What stories gave meaning to their lives ? -
