Through the end of the year I’ll be digging into the Lovelorn Poets missed connections archive and publishing some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around – enjoy!

Beat Box Bliss
Missed Connections in Brooklyn, NY
originally published on July 20
In twilight sunlight darkness and blackness it’s
giving me life and the sound of the drums
lullaby hums
the train comes and it’s off to my bed
humid beat box bliss
filled with dreams of a place
that i always miss
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
The final line in Beat Box Bliss, “filled of dreams of a place that i always miss” brought to mind a person living in exile from their home and this intriguing image by ZoKoS with its theme of war and death and drums provided a perfect match. The fact that it reminded me of Stasys Eidrigevicius didn’t hurt either.
