When I first looked at this poem and notice the painting next to it. The image did match up to the title of the poem, the poem on the other hand; I didn't really get what was going on. It was only till when I got to the end of the poem that made me guess on who was talking in this poem.
At first I thought it was going to be the naked woman talking about her youth fading away in the mirror (don't know why she would need to be naked for that). Or this poem could relate to one of the seven deadly sins, like Lust or Pride. I think that would be an interesting poem. Instead from what I gather from this poem was that all this is coming from the mirrors perspective. That is how I see it, and read it, because it did not sound like all this was coming from her. But I still don't really get what the poem is saying.
The painting next to it is interesting. And if this was a poem about aging and time passing by before you, then this would be a good painting to show that. From the lines on the naked body, they can represent the aging body.
