time to move on.

a pocket watch stuck at 6 o’clock
i could pay to have it fixed
twenty dollars and it’s in the present
but isn’t it something to leave it how it is?
a physical object belonging to the past
stuck in a moment of its own time
held in my hand and carried with me through mine
is it like time travel?
something existing when it doesn’t belong
or is it just an old clock
dragged along with me long past its own days?
is it a sign to let go?

I found a pocket watch necklace at a store that reminded me of someone I care about. I bought it for them and I noticed the clock doesn’t work anymore, it’s stuck just past 6 o’clock. I don’t think I’ll have it fixed.
