It has a poetic and ghostly feel to it, but too often sways into pretentious and pompous territory (feels occasionally like the writer is patting herself on the back for an unnecessarily complex choice of words).
When the text flows, it has that lucid, dream-like feel to it that makes it something between a poem and deep self-reflection. When the text gets caught in its own narcissism, it reads like bad fanfiction.
Overall okay; execution lets it down.
