Daily Prompt – Clock

I imagine taking your arms, unwrapping and unwinding them a thousand times
Around the invisible surface of your face
Letting time carry me backward
To that moment, that place I ventured so carelessly
I’d freeze time only for a moment
Reposition your arms to that hour, that day
And choose the fated path, that fork in the road
I was meant to travel
Treasuring every reclaimed second, minute, hour, day
While singing tick tock repeatedly
The new countdown
To my final destination
