Wristwatch
 

Left it lying on the dresser
curled face-down
spider waiting
for its chance to tangle me
in its web of sticky time.

Missed its weight in minutes 
looped it back in place --
caught up again.




Thanks for all the good critique.  Though some lines were liked, I'm leaning toward radical simplification in hopes that ambiguity will substitute beneficially for detail.
Hi Duke,

I like the edits.  Only one suggestion for the end, might give you that ambiguity you are looking for.
