Sounds Like: dust; any phase of the moon; the argument next door; night train clacking through a railroad crossing; wind through Louisiana pines; hiss of a branding iron; vetivert, frankincense, and cottonwood; the first cry and the last rattle; neon sign at 3 AM; old books; the last thought before sleep; underwater dreams . . .Nah, still not it.
