People are Brave by Natalee Caple

People are brave
I give up my heart

I say to you that
people are brave

wherever there is blood
and shadow
unique dreams rise out
of the quiet heads of infants

and the thrust of love
like a light through your heart
like a face buried against your neck
and a weight between your thighs

a vision of nightshade

a naked candle reflected in your pupils

People are brave
