The Blood of a Poet

Inside a poet's chamber, an armless statue suddenly awakens. It beckons the poet to step through a mirror and enter a neighboring world. Unfathomable places and enigmatic figures reveal themselves to him. The poet pries himself away from these beguiling, distorted fascinations and, with difficulty, returns to his room.
