Majdanek (Free verse) by Niphredil

I couldn’t look them in the face. I couldn’t, not in that accursed place where every timber creaked with evil and the ground exuded malice fresh and ripe watered with the blood of these my people whose faces, black and white, stared at me from the wooden wall.

This poem, as well as 'Shades', was written during a visit to the death camps in Poland. Majdanek made a particularly powerful impression on me, and I wrote those two poems following the visit.
