all the black squares

what if i made a tapestry
out of all the black squares
adorn my wall with it
as rememberance of death; a void
where love and compassion should have been

what if i made a quilt
out of all the black squares
cover my bed with it
as a means to sleep, in the knowledge
that i remain cold and unprotected

what if i made a carpet
out of all the black squares
tile my floor with them
as a way to navigate the hollow rooms
where community should have been

what if i made a grid
out of all the black squares
improve my instagram with them
as a way to look like i care
as long as everything
stayed in perfect harmony
