Yes, passing trains wake you up to rock you to sleep.

A really nice piece. It rings and resonates. I grew up by trains too. City ones in slow pass routes or switch yards that erupted in great clunky rumbles as they coupled. You've done a great job of bringing those trains to life. Enjoyed it a lot!

Such a beautiful reverie, beasts that ate time and themselves and then turned on silence and bad dreams and helped you sleep.

A wonderful piece, Trilety. I love the mention of the dentures and the differences between day and night.
