Lauren Groff Quotes
Two Free Days Like An Open Mouth. They Drank Beer All Day In The Sun And Passed Out, And When She Woke, She Was Burnt All Over, And It Was Sunset, And Lotto Had Started Building Something Enormous With Sand, Already Four Feet High And Ten Feet Long And Pointing Toward The Sea. Woozy, Standing, She Asked What It Was.
He Said, 'spiral Jetty.'
She Said, 'In Sand?'
He Smiled And Said, 'That's Its Beauty.'
A Moment In Her Bursting Open, Expanding. She Looked At Him. She Hand't Seen It Before, But There Was Something Special Here. She Wanted To Tunnel Inside Him To Understand What It Was. There Was A Light Under The Shyness And Youth, A Sweetness, A Sudden Surge Of The Old Hunger In Her To Take A Part Of Him Into Her And Make Him Briefly Hers.
Instead, She Bent And Helped, They All Did. And Deep Into The Morning, When It Was Done, They Sat In Silence, Huddled Against The Cold Wind And Watched The Tide Swallow It Whole. Everything Had Changed Somehow
