A mother drowned her sons this Tuesday
A mother drowned her sons this Tuesday,
The daily magazine reported.
In the blaze, the hurtful summer haze,
Cold water was relief and madness.
A mother drowned her sons, fifteen months
Babies, they weren't fed gold for lunch.
Willow branches shamelessly shut the
Dreaming infants' eyes, when it was night.
A mother drowned her sons, and the killed
Herself too: the town had three to mourn.
A naked night was burdened by the
Heavy crying of the Missouri.
