Separated Ways, Worlds Apart - new poem by Sofia Robeiro Willcox
Separated Ways, Worlds Apart
Glass overflowed with tears.
shards of glass deeply cut.
I want a glass of trust gut
with slices of fresh air.
Another glass by builders,
my body inhaled the silvers.
Glass shard can get recycled.
Fireworks pop in the sky,
Champagne in another glass.
Get drunk in the memories,
hungover for tomorrow.

All About and Contributors
HELP OUTSIDELEFT
Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
