Seven Silver

My sister had a glass of wine
No a glass of wine too many
"I bet he's out right now with his Nazi
That's right, I said it, that's what she is, and 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 went to some vlachos coffee-grind reader
Ad had a gypsy glint in her eye when she'd
"Since how you feel, I know what to do
sure she gets fixed before she takes him from 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 placard that Madame Maria's.

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

Charlatan,
Fraud gypsy bitch whose was bad and English was worse
I held to my purse

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

Madame pointed to
And her shawl,
Uncovered a old crystal 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 believe it!" I
Maria said, "Well, I had a notion
So you came in, I prepared half a potion

Now you must do the other
I you a list
You must get seven part-silver curses made special out of bullet bits by Pollock I know in Evergreen Park
And dip them in the and drop them in Buckingham 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 tree in the southwestern corner of Columbus Park!
Faster, we have to go up to Caputo's Produce and Fruit Market on Harlem and get the garden snake that lives in the bin!
Hurry, we have to get the mercury out of the old they have through the north-facing doors
To the left by the boys in the lobby 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 lies dead under a dirty wool blanket in the basement of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The silver teeth of a man killed by a wife!

I always an old maid
I didn't walk 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 believe I'd be his fiancee
And I did him, as I had every right to
And I'd put on my best dress and go dance at all the dances

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

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

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

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

3:11!, 3:12!, 3:13!
On a hot August everyone is asleep
But the were watching, witching and my temple was twitching
Twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch,
Fountain, fountain
Fountain, fountain
Let your react and turn the curses to fact and come 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 hearts started to
And a wind came up off the lake; make no mistake, we something released out into the city
And I
And I
As I swept somehow to Austin, I don't remember how
Scared of I had wrought
But terrified, I get what I had sought

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

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

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