Summary:

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season Five Poetry Codas

Notes:

I'm going to start posting season 5 at the same time and hopefully I will update this every week as the new episode airs.
The style of this first poem is based off of 'Backwards' by Warsan Shire

Chapter 1: Prison Blues

Chapter Text

Home,
so far away you are,
I see a glimpse through the bars,
you come into the visiting room
and I hold you briefly -
then you’re gone.
It is a long stretch in between,
prison is no place for a cop
(not safe, not safe
hear the fear in the words).
I should
be out there with you,
safe,
home.

Home,
safe,
be out there with you,
I should.
(hear the fear in the words
not safe, not safe).
Prison is no place for a cop,
it is a large stretch in between,
then you’re gone
and I hold you briefly -
you come into the visiting room,
I see a glimpse through the bars,
so far away you are,
home.
