"prose-poem" is the phrase that works best for me - there's nothing conventional about his language use.

It reminds me a little of Virginia Woolf esp the later short stories i.e. the experimental stream of consciousness except that Woolf was still writing in sentences and paragraphs. Ray's stories are sometimes just a little bit longer than haikus, extremely pared down. With a touch of Emily Dickenson I think.
