already broken

as she sleeps,
splayed
out on the bed, her red hair
aflame
in the morning sun.
i look at her
dress on
the floor
in a pile, a puddle of
green fabric
with sparkles,
her new years eve
dress,
with matching heels,
and a tiara
of some sort.
our resolutions
already
broken.

This feels like it has potential to be more. Like image of woman in beginning with red hair aflame. The word “splayed “ though reminds me of a dead body. Languishing, maybe, resplendent and languid. The mood of image feels like it could be a nice contrast with the emerald green sparkle of the dress.
