“Self-Portrait with Toaster and Fork” by John Weik
By Peycho Kanev
It is getting late in the world and the moon and the frozen lake are sparkling at each other like our ill-lit bodies used to
The black ravens stand dark and motionless inside the leafless space
I am here and everywhere
I am here where are you I am here Morning is getting closer and I’m waiting here surrounded by your absence
