two sisters

some people fade as ghosts from the memory of my retina
in the memory of others they lay
and make me believe they really are
but to me not even memories
the are not for them
less
the empty
vaccum

writing to absence
please forgive me
whoever you are not
it was never my intention
to hurt your unmemory

Voice will say it's out of spite
i only wish
but in fact it's a tribute to Amnesia
the sympathetic sister of Insomnia
the one I truly love
and can't remember if i've met

the sister, however
inebriated stalker
she loves me iknow
and seeks for my indecent companion
whenever i am in bed

go away i please please her
never remembering
she is deaf
