In insolation

I learned that you cannot
make a bird come say hello at your window.

You must put your ears
against the glass
— like so.

Sometimes
I wake up in the middle
of the night
just to think about
things
— like how sometimes
I wake up in the middle
of the night
just to think about
things.

The last time I cried
in front of a boy
misunderstood
as a man
he suddenly knew how to fly.

Hummingbirds
don't land
next to my apartment.

Actually,
hummingbirds never land.

I heard they spend almost all their time in the air.

Legs
so small and weak
that they almost cannot
walk — at all.

I live with an owl now.

Sometimes
he wakes up
in the middle
of my night.

Kissing my ears
— like so.
