&&&..&&&&& 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. ....&...&.
