“a home alone” by Katarzyna Stefanicka


as i left
only the hallway had something to say
it echoed the steps
before they were muffled
by the floor rug
and by the door they were locked
away


Katarzyna is a psychologist with an interest in psychoanalysis and writing. She lives, works and writes in London. Her poems are short and nearly always rhyme – this may be due to a fear of long prose ever since school.
