LE LIVRE DE MARIE
[via Anne-Marie Mieville and Jean-Luc Godard]
Long as we stay together,
eyes hurt,
listening, Marie, exasperated.
I demand
voir dire.

Written during my first viewing of a 25 minute film directed by Mieville
and produced by Godard in 1984, which is regularly screened before a
feature directed by Godard (and edited by Mieville) that same year, "Je
vous salue, Marie". Anne-Marie Mieville casts herself in a major acting
role in the shorter film, and the "voice" of my text is drawn from
her "performance" and that of her fictional daughter, Marie.
