THE HARPS OF BIRKENAU
(a fragment)
..wheels speed along the track
rushing toward the victory of crime,
transporting, transporting, people to gas,
people to a cremator, people to a petrol-sprayed pyre.
Smoke floats, thick foul smoke…
People burn people here.
And on luminous poles
stretch wires shine.
These are the harps of Brzezinka,
harps of Birkenau
Berkenau 1944
Sofia Grochowalska-Abramovich
