this whole thing is just so fucking beautiful. the words, how it feels, your confusing (?) relationship, the many yeses, the birds' nest itself, the wonderful humans / birds / aliens, how poetic words on a screen can make me feel. i love it so very much.
Yes, wow!! I too love the line "maybe i can make eye contact with the page and be witnessed directly" -- as well as, throughout, that powerful, lilting use of the "maybe."
"maybe i can make eye contact with the page and be witnessed directly, so the other birds can see my mouth make the words. don’t worry if my lisp slips out. they will understand me anyway."
The only thing I can make eye contact with, I feel you!
