The Island and the Cloud

Between freedom and Instagram
  there is an island,
  where men go to be alone

An island of words
  in arresting colors,
  with meaning indicted—but seldom heard

Between Facebook and tomorrow
  a cloud sits waiting,
  where men go to find themselves

An Angel calling role
  in blind acceptance,
  all names rejected—the letters whole

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2019)
