Marching

Finally, after weeks of waiting,

One morning after Appell

We marched off

As the orchestra played.

Left,

Right.

Left,

Right.

Eyes front.

Lines straight.

Left,

Right.

Left,

Right.

Past the guards and their dogs.

Past the SS officers.

Left,

Right.

Left,

Right.

Through the gates.

Far from the strains of the orchestra.

Left,

Right.

Left,

Right.

Out of the shadow of the chimneys.

Beyond the stench of the smoke.

Left,

Right.

Left,

Right.

Feet ached.

Feet swelled.

Left,

Right.

Left,

Right.

Keeping in step.

Doing what I was told.

But looking toward the horizon,

Like Zlatka,

To see what it was she saw.
