Gargoyle silencer

I made a gargoyle out of clay

The other day.

Now, you will ask, of all the things man could create

Why would you craft a monster?

I made it small, so it could fit inside my left atrium

I made it tall, so it could block my left ventricle.

I made a gargoyle to silence my heart, and my heart-beats.

So when I feel tempted to look back on my past,

I pump a shot of gargoyle blood.

I pump a little gargoyle poison.

And then the shiver brings me back.
