I Can See the Lights by Russ Litten

​I can see the lights is a collection of 27 poems to be published in February 2020.
​

never take off your coat and tie when the fists start to fly,
the coppers always slap the cuffs on the man without a jacket, 
the police always come too bastard late to stop it … 

… keep walking Dad, home is in sight, 
I can see the lights, 
I can see the lights,
I can see the lights.
