Thank you for sharing. It's not a poem that I had read before, and it definitely bears reading and re-reading. It seems to me that there's a sense of unease at the heart of the poem, as though the author feels that her reflection has something disturbing to say. The author keeps her locked up and only uses her to check her appearance. I think it is accentuated by the I sounds - I, I, inside, disquiet, or maybe they're just pointing forward to the final "time"..
