Missed connections is a bit of a ridiculous category on Craigs list, but I imagined the despair some people must go through after meeting someone and feeling like they had a natural connection with no way of contacting that person. In their desperation they turn to the 1:10000000 chance that the other person will see it.

A poem written from&for a woman in Berlin through missed connections interpreted by painting with texture

Night Poem

Dich bedecken
nicht mit Küssen
nur einfach
mit deiner Decke
(die dir von der Schulter geglitten ist)
dass du im Schlaf nicht frierst.

Später
wenn du erwacht bist
das Fenster zumachen
und dich umarmen
und dich bedecken
mit Küssen
und dich entdecken.

you cover
not with kisses
only just
with a blanket
(of the earth has slipped from the shoulder)
that you do not freeze in your sleep.

later
if you are awakened
close the window
and hug you
and cover you
with kisses
and discover you.

-Davis
