Metamorphosis Poem by Thaddeus Thierisch

When I was a small boy
I thought that the humpbacks are
Disguised angels
Hiding their wings poorly.

When I was a small boy
I molded a snow-woman,
Such a beautiful,
That even experienced the love of Pygmalion.

When I was a small boy
Naively trusted the World,
That is why it didn’t scare me
Neither with darkness nor uncertainty.

When I was a small boy
I didn’t believe in God.
And now I don’t know anymore -
Whether I grew up or became a believer?
