Seven Silver

My sister had a glass of wine
No doubt a glass of wine too
"I bet out right now with his Nazi whore
That's right, I said it, that's she is, and when he
saunters back at three or four,
Don't let him in, put the on the door."
But of I'd let him in, the jerk.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I peered in despite

Somewhere on some love seat, my husband was
Paying court to his mistress and her hair
I saw it for
"I can't believe it!" I
Madame said, "Well, I had a notion
So before you came in, I prepared a potion

Now you must do the other
I wrote you a
You must get seven part-silver curses made special out of bullet bits by some Pollock I know in Evergreen
And dip them in the potion and drop them in Fountain at 3:13 on Friday morning
And she'll 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 right in the southwestern corner of Columbus Park!
Faster, we have to go up to Caputo's Produce and Fruit on Harlem 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 by the shoe-shine boys in the lobby of the Monadnock building!
And don't be late, for you must get the silver out of the of one George Karmalitis
Who as we speak lies dead under a dirty wool in the basement of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The silver teeth of a man killed by a wife!

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

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

I only had for my guy, see
But one night he had he wouldn't be able to take me
As he hurt his shoulder and had his arm in a
But I went anyway and saw him with woman
And she was his ring

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

And I was happy, simply happy
Do you it
A modest young simple contentment
It's probably a sunny day, and I it was
The birds chirping
And I felt like I was on air
But not very far off the
I wonder if I knew even then that things wouldn't be perfect
That one day he'd seek solace in the 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 August night everyone is
But the were watching, witching and my temple was twitching
Twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch,
Fountain, fountain
Fountain, sweet
Let your water react and turn the curses to and come true
Fountain, fountain
Fountain, fountain
Let your water and turn the curses to fact and come true
And do

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

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

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

And as the clock struck the next morning
My was next to me with a smile on his face
And I looked, no hairs on his pajamas
And it was as if I had been from a bad dream
