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