Dancing With Rabbits

A wriggled nose invitation
To dance into myself.
A shout of joyous salvation

Dappled skin;
What a grin!

With a slant and a sway
The happy whiskers
Carry me away.

that this is about a freckle-faced guy, maybe a boy-friend? [the whiskers]. Not sure about the logic, as it really is kind of ambiguous and doesn't tell much. I like the rhyme and it is nicely done as far as the pace and pattern go. ~ Geez.

The poem is about intersecting with a totemic archetype of release / joy / freedom. The "invitation" offers transformation. I am trying to capture the ecstasy of the moment

I think you are correct about the internal logic. I think it needs a stanza between 2 and 3 to focus intent
