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