Seven Silver

My sister had a glass of wine
No doubt a glass of too many
"I bet out right now with his Nazi whore
That's right, I said it, that's she is, and when he
Finally saunters back at or four,
let him in, put the chain on the door."
But of I'd let him in, the jerk.

Now my silly little sister to some vlachos coffee-grind reader
Ad had a glint in her eye when she'd smirk
"Since how you feel, I know what to do
Make she gets fixed before she takes him from you."

It's a hot August night and my sister and I are creeping down south
Towards a storefront a storefront stoop and a moon
And a star and a placard that says Maria's.

"Tell me troubles,
But dollars first."
That's she said
And of course, I thought the

Charlatan,
gypsy bitch whose Greek was bad and English was worse
I held tight to my

My did the talking and I looked down
And tapped my foot and of twisted on one heel.

Madame pointed to
And her shawl,
Uncovered a dusty old ball

I in despite myself

Somewhere on some love seat, my was there
Paying to his mistress and stroking her hair
I saw it for
"I can't it!" I cried
Madame Maria said, "Well, I had a
So you came in, I prepared half a potion

Now you do the other half
I you a list
You must get seven curses made special out of bullet bits by some Pollock I know in Evergreen Park
And dip them in the potion and drop in Buckingham Fountain at 3:13 on Friday morning
And then be gone, you'll be rid of her!"

Quick, for the potion, we have to get three dozen crabapples that fell off a raggedy old tree right in the corner of Columbus Park!
Faster, we have to go up to Caputo's Produce and Fruit Market on and get the garden snake that lives in the banana bin!
Hurry, we have to get the mercury out of the old thermometer have through the north-facing doors
To the left by the shoe-shine boys in the of the Monadnock building!
And don't be late, for you must get the silver out of the teeth of one Karmalitis
Who as we speak lies dead a dirty wool blanket in the basement of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The teeth of a man killed by a jealous wife!

I wasn't an old maid
I didn't always down the street
And have the children yell at me Spinny the Spinster
And try to knock the hat off my
I had a fiancee, or he led me to I'd soon be his fiancee
And I did believe him, as I had right to
And I'd put on my best dress and we'd go at all the dances

And I'd never let the boys from the cut in
They'd come out of Great Lakes, usually straight off the farm
And I'd really let any of the country club beaus get a chance
cream-colored summer suits were never cut to my taste anyhow
And Hyde Park fraternity fellas were out as a matter of course
I don't enjoy a man in red, so certainly not maroon, that's for

I only had for my guy, see
But one night he had said he be able to take me
As he hurt his and had his arm in a sling
But I went and saw him with another woman
And she was his ring

The silver still and smelted down quick into the copper or lead or whatever else it was
And when the metal was still soft and hot you'd engrave the curse into it with a stylus from an old bone
I thought for a second of I might write
a little different, but with the correct sort of spite
One of them asked panayia mou to make that hair fall straight out
The was ready back at my apartment
And my sister and I mumbled and ourselves when we dropped the curses in
And I thought of my
My and her
And I of me and him, of what we were
I of our wedding day

And I was happy, very happy
Do you it
A young woman's simple contentment
It's a sunny day, and I think it was
The birds were
And I felt like I was on air
But not far off the ground
I wonder if I knew even then that things wouldn't always be
That one day he'd seek in the arms of another woman
And to win him back, to win him back, I'd have to do this

3:11!, 3:12!, 3:13!
On a hot night everyone is asleep
But the crows were watching, witching and my was twitching
Twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch,
Fountain, fountain
Fountain, fountain
Let your water react and turn the curses to fact and true
Fountain, sweet
Fountain, fountain
Let your water react and turn the to fact and come true
And do

The instant we dropped them in, our started to race
And a wind up off the lake; make no mistake, we felt something released out into the city
And I
And I
As I swept back somehow to Austin, I don't how
of what I had wrought
But terrified, I didn't get what I had

Oh Jimmy, you been so long
Oh Jimmy, where you been so
Oh Jimmy, where you so long

Oh Jimmy, you been so long
Oh Jimmy, where you been so
Oh Jimmy, you been so long

And as the clock struck eight the morning
My husband was next to me a smile on his face
And I looked, no blond hairs on his
And it was as if I had been awakened a bad dream
