This was an interesting read but I absolutely do not recommend it for learning purposes. Read it because you like literature or poetry but not because you want to improve your vocabulary or grammar. This is closer to a poem than a story and between choppy partial sentences and lots of katakana substituting hiragana and kanji it is a difficult read.

I honestly wasn't sure how to grade this because the meaning/mood of the poem(?) isn't too hard but the writing is so nonstandard and I feel like it would frustrate anyone who isn't yet confident in their reading abilities. So I aimed for vaguely "N2/N1" with my grading in that hopes that anyone picking it up would at least have a solid grounding in native material already.
