Stuck in time⁴¹

I’m on an endless path
just to see you
through the keyhole
of your open
room
 
Forgotten
timepiece⁴² 
of a
secret
musty era
 
Trail
of diluted drops⁴³
along yesterday’s path of⁴⁴ 
desiccated
creepers

⁴¹ Camino means both “I walk” and “Pathway”.  I tried both as titles, but switched to a less obvious solution based on clues in the poem.  Stuck in Time, describes what happens in the poem.  It’s more suggestive than Travelling on the Spot, and sums up the essence.
⁴² Confronted with choosing between watch or clock, I decided on neither. Timepiece does the trick.  And forgotten timepiece has that elusive mathematical feel that this Borgesian poem does so well.
⁴³ The Trail of Diluted Drops: now there’s a title for a short story. Such suspense!
⁴⁴ Here’s the rub: We have a trail of desiccated drops in a past of desiccated vines or creepers. See my problem? In English you need to repeat the image of the trail. And by repeating it, the image is intensified and doubled, producing yet another Borgesian effect.

Camino

Camino sin llegar
solo para verte
por la cerradura
de tu cuarto
abierto

Reloj olvidado
de un tiempo
secreto
húmedo
de olor estancado

Sendero
de gotas diluida
en un pasado
de enredaderas
secas
