A Marilyn Monroe Poem

By Jack Brummet, Poetry Ed.


From Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters by Marilyn Monroe by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (First Edition October 12, 2010, ISBN-10: 0374158355)





Only parts of us will ever
touch only parts of others –
one’s own truth is just that really — one’s own truth.
We can only share the part that is understood by within another’s knowing acceptable to
the other — therefore
 so one
is for most part alone.
As it is meant to be in
evidently in nature — at best though perhaps it could make
our understanding seek
another’s loneliness out.
