This is about a girl in her room typing away and her parent hears her pattern of thought and type. She types diligently and pauses for thought. Hoping that she completes here next thought her parent remembers the day when a small bird fought the same battle she did trying to get out of the window, and in her case writing a passage. As she types away, this moment parallels the effort the bird gave even when he was crashing into the window. The pause is similar to her pause, trying to catch its breath, or regain some thought. I just dont understand the last few lines about life and death and the wish.
