Seven Curses

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

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

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

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

Charlatan,
Fraud gypsy bitch whose Greek was bad and was worse
I tight to my purse

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

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

I peered in despite

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

Now you do the other half
I wrote you a
You must get seven part-silver curses made special out of bullet bits by some 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 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 that lives in the banana bin!
Hurry, we to get the mercury out of the old thermometer they have through the north-facing doors
To the left by the shoe-shine boys in the of the Monadnock building!
And be late, for you must get the silver out of the teeth of one George Karmalitis
Who as we speak lies dead under a dirty wool blanket in the of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The silver of a man killed by a jealous wife!

I wasn't an old maid
I didn't always 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 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 go dance at all the dances

And I'd never let the boys from the cut in
They'd out of Great Lakes, usually straight off the farm anyway
And I'd never really let any of the club beaus get a chance
Those cream-colored summer were never cut to my taste anyhow
And those Hyde Park fraternity were out as a matter of course
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 said he wouldn't be to take me
As he his shoulder and had his arm in a sling
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 you'd engrave the curse into it a stylus from an old whale bone
I thought for a of what I might write
Something a little different, but with the correct of spite
One of them asked panayia mou to make that blonde's 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 of my husband
My and her
And I thought of me and him, of what we
I of our wedding day

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

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

The instant we dropped them in, our hearts 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 back somehow to Austin, I don't remember how
Scared of I had wrought
But terrified, I didn't get what I had

Oh Jimmy, you been so long
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

And as the clock eight 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 awakened a bad dream
