the given words:
first light, mirror, rolling fog, tea with Florence,
chemise (a dress hanging
straight from the shoulders

in the first light of the agonizing
day mirrored by the misty rolling fog
that transcends slowly

dressed in an alluring chemise about the only
saving piece of garment in the drab afternoon

her beau's unrelenting masquerades
which now comes to fruition
she is an accomplished pretender
looking happy
so is he, just as elated
putting up an act himself!
