BACKDATING

December 2002

Lorenzo Vantaggiato

 

 

 

Into the lens

Glimpses and jabs of lost moments

My first boyfriend

The first time we touched each other

Gently stroking

Absolute pure, immature sexes

His bitch mother

Busting us in an non-existent time

Complaining of abuse

And lost virginity corruption

Of the mind and soul

Crucifying our eunuch hearts

Into endless forlornness

 

May she be damned!

As we both died that second!

 

At 28 I am a camera

 

(Was I always gay?)

 

On a short yet significant

Piece of film

I’m not backdating

Just reconstructing

Once absurd interpretations

Pieces of truth

That was always the truth

 

Now the lens has stopped lying

 

Pure glass only allows pure thoughts

To pass

 

I float within memories

We no longer drown in absence
