..&...&... envelop me in noise... a sandstorm of &&..&.&&..
...&...&.. sound... and sure enough, between the .&&...&&&.
....&...&. grains there are calls from other .&&&..&.&&
&....&...& worlds - .&.&&...&&
&&....&... ...&&&..&.
&&&....&.. distant wailing sirens, coming closer ...&.&&...
&.&&....&. but staying out of reach... telling me &....&&&..
..&&&....& that something is happening, perfuming &&...&.&&.
..&.&&.... me with someone elses excitement &&&....&&&
&...&&&... &.&&...&.&
&&..&.&&.. the phone ringing, a certain phone from ..&&&....&
.&&...&&&. a job long lost, urging for someone to ..&.&&...&
.&&&..&.&& pick up &...&&&...
.&.&&...&& &&..&.&&..
...&&&..&. .&&...&&&.
...&.&&... and at times, when i'm almost drowning .&&&..&.&&
&....&&&.. in this metaphorical sand, breathing .&.&&...&&
&&...&.&&. it, the veil is next to breached... i ...&&&..&.
&&&....&&& hear flutes, sines, repeating themes ...&.&&...
&.&&...&.& like were they calls from rubbery .....&&&..
..&&&....& birds... deafeningly loud! .....&.&&.
..&.&&...& but like a mirage, constantly &......&&&
&...&&&... evaporating and reforming. &&.....&.&
&&..&.&&.. and not really touching my eardrums. &&&......&
