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