It borders on poetry and prose and has every glorious right to. Well written and well thought out. I like.

I would also like to note that I like your varied and intriguing references to mythology in a good handful of your works.

Very good! I enjoy the atmosphere created and, incidentally, I enjoyed the story in no small part because one of the rivers other than the clichéd Styx was used.

This actually sounds just like poetry, not prose. Very well written, but would work better in verse.
