Black square

These nights not sleeping bring me to my knees no dreams no touch no restful knowing
black square enters to block immense pain between here and wherever whatever you might be
black square cuts time into manageable bites 1am 2 am 4 am 5 
so so long endless if black square stretched into an infinite band
black square contains time in a 4 by 4 square equation that maybe i can manage sanely
black square can hold the overwhelming expanse of universe 
neatly tied with black ribbon and black bow 
invisible dimensions of darkness
black square blocks me from seeking you out
black square negates sadness
These sleepless nights herald black square to calm the torturous silence
no voice
no breath
nothing but black square
