Replying to a comment on:

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.

Powerful; the imagery in the last 5 lines could possibly be brought out a bit more. Not sure about 'timber creaked with evil'...it doesn't really creak with evil - timber creaked despairingly, maybe?
