That Poet:: to William Stafford. ~~~Day five of NaPoWriMo

William Stafford

is my drug of choice,

though I may need to double 

my dose.  His is a medicine

to combat war, wipe it right out,

him an entire army,

a regiment of one,

honest as the moon,

unstinting...

Stafford, you are

one hell of a doctor

of conscience.


J. Pratt-Walter
