Once In Taegu An Alchemist Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

Once In Taegu An Alchemist



The LT was drunk
and the platoon
was lost

Where's the alchemist?
I wondered
who could transmute
fear into courage
and put the fire out

The alchemist
was in my heart
tail tucked in
dead to the world

No going home

never no more
