Gnaw & Thrall

Gnaw & Thrall, a visual poem by Drew Myron

Gnaw & Thrall


Of all the things

the body absorbs:

sun, salt, water,

heat, freeze, and

endless sinking

it still insists on

staying open, suspended

at the surface of parched

and starving, deep in

the gnawing thrall

of living.

— Drew Myron
