Under Standing Waves

For Veena

She has gone to bed just in case you come to mind
Her will to fight’s at rest until she wakes up after the night
She is never quite sure when she will feel some type of way again
Simply understand that she has got you in her eyes
Crashed into the wall, the desperation calls out “rise, rise, rise, rise”
Simply understand

Too little time
Can you FaceTime?

Try to think of the way that I was
When you met me father
Too little time
I could drop underneath the waves
Hold my head above water
Too little time
I only call on you when I'm falling down
I could not hear the sound
Too little time
Can you Facetime?
