    The poem describes a man who finds another man hiding in his mirror late at night. The man in the mirror threatens and torments the speaker, saying he will make him bleed and take him on a journey to hell. They engage in a game of hide and seek turned into a game of war. The man in the mirror has a key and says he has won. At the end, the speaker realizes that he himself is the man in the mirror, as nobody can see the man but he can see others, feeding himself.
