Today I'd planned that I'd go to Auschwitz
Nearly forgot to book online, but did
(It was free, without a guide). Bus, small cost
Of 14 zloty, that's less than 5 quid
An hour and a half journey, the bus did
(Glad Jo wasn't there to moan!) Humbling to
See this historic, tragic site that hid
Its real-life horrors, not that long ago
They try to recreate it with photo
And lots of multi-lingual guides who crossed
My path repeatedly. Shuttle bus sped
The short distance to Birkenau, still so
Eerie, though mainly quickly demolished
As the Nazis realised they'd lost, and fled
Wed 7 Dec
