Marlon Brando drowns his despair in sex
Like Maurice Ronet does with alcohol
Maria Schneider stands in his way,
A Dorothy Gale without a cause.
Joy is an unreachable star
With her hat on, naked thighs, she wears boots,
And so on.
Joy, the brightness of her cheeks.
They said she died after long illness
This is said in these cases :
After long illness
Like it was a very dark slow motion picture,
An obscure follow shot between life and death.
Joy, the brightness of her body
In the ghost buildings of Passy.
