Into a rabbit hearted girl
But I don't mind
Your kiss is a rabbit's foot
In my pocket
And in the luxury
Of my interrupted memories
I see the ecstasy
Of new-found epiphanies
My rabbit heart is in your keeping
Outside of my body
I would do anything to protect it
And I would die without it
A kit is helpless
But worthless
I stand on my own two feet
Only to be shot for my pelt
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
At any rate
You and I are still rather harebrained
But despite our jackal love
You are the Dauphin
And I am not your Dauphine
But despite our jackal love
You are the Dauphin
And I am not your Dauphine
You turned a lion hearted kitten
Into a rabbit hearted girl
But I don't mind
Your kiss is a rabbit's foot
In my pocket

Thought Rabbit Heart was a very original poem.
Yes, a kit is a baby rabbit. Such pink things they are!
"Jackal love".
That "helpless"/"worthless" verse really shows the difference between the narrator and a kit.
Keep beating rabbit heart!
Loved the elements of the monogamous animals like the Mandarin ducks and the jackal.
