rabbit heart

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

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

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
