'People-work'

Depending on where you stand  HIV is a virus,  a daily reminder of mortality,  a story of defiant bodies and minds,  of intimate betrayals,  of smiling through searing pain,  of scary 'body fluids'.  HIV is a story of conquest of stomach churning surprises of a constant 'so-what'  of unbearable and hurtful love of living in a way that no one dies.

Weird games Of pebbles Of size so small of riverbed prints Of Grains, Of Grime, of nightly chime, Of wailing clocks Of strings With time, of spring, of thyme, Of weird games of yore Of Yarns of pleasure, Of cutting So clean of ties.
