Dedicated to all the young men who think you can diagnose HIV by sight...

 

She was beautiful.
A cardinal among crows
a sex symbol who
Swayed all eyes to see, but
mutely battled HIV.

Inside lines, you threw us a curve with this one, Lavendar. Shapely truth of reality. Powerful in its message. Be well always Lavendar.

Warmly,

Underneath these lines is a life of pain - and a reminder to not judge a book by its cover. Well said, Lavendar.

Exposing the veil of ignorance with such insight and dignity. What is it they say? Don't judge a book by its cover....

Be always safe,
