The Silver Stairs of Ketchikan
2 A.M. is the best time
to climb the silver stairs
of Ketchikan and go up into the trees
and the dark prowling deer.
When my wife gets out of bed
to feed the baby at 2 A.M., she turns
on all the lights in Ketchikan
and people start banging on the doors
and swearing at one another.
That's the best time
to climb the silver stairs
of Ketchikan and go up into the trees
and the dark prowling deer.
