I think this is the most metrical poem I've read of yours. I enjoyed the rhythm of it quite a lot.

Probably me being a hammer so everything looks like a nail, but is their Jungian shadow inspiration here? It really feels so.

Very shadow work-inspired, yes.

I’m glad the rhythm of it worked out. I don’t know that I can break it down numerically, but I like for each line to have a similar number of syllables so a rhythm/flow can better be established. It bothers me when I read poetry that doesn’t follow this because I feel like I can’t figure out its cadence.
