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