Two Dead Boys in the Bush

'His brown hair is matted, his neck is bent.' ~ Evie Young, Two Dead Boys in the Bush

A woman's strife is what sticks with her.
She calls upon husbands, and homes.
Such will keep her safe.

A mother's children are what kills her.
Not the husbands, or the homes.
Their little faces have a sweetness that may melt
In heat.

A boy is dead, the cops don't have a suspect and ghosts are pulling children into their den.

A Short Story - with mature (dark) themes that may be sensitive to some readers
