River Dee’s Dead Poem and Fine Art Photography By Rona Campbell

They are laid out to die,

cold slabs of her,

that once sealed her in are

beside themselves with tomorrows sorrow;

cast up bits of her;

paralysed particles,

parcels of ice.

There’s something pathetic about

the fact they are solidly stuck

to the bank;

abandoned opaque remains,

with a hint of the human grave.

She, Dee, is relieved to be

free of this weight,

as she gurgles on towards the sea.
