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
right, I said it, that's what 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 went to some vlachos coffee-grind
Ad had a gypsy 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 sister and I are down south Halsted
Towards a past a storefront stoop and a moon
And a star and a placard that Madame Maria's.

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

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

My sister did the 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 seat, my husband was there
Paying court to his and stroking her hair
I saw it for
"I believe it!" I cried
Madame Maria said, "Well, I had a
So before you came in, I half a potion

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

Quick, for the potion, we to get three dozen crabapples that fell off a raggedy old tree right in the southwestern corner of Columbus Park!
Faster, we have to go up to Caputo's Produce and Market 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 they have through the doors
To the left by the shoe-shine in the lobby of the Monadnock building!
And don't be late, for you must get the silver out of the teeth of one George
Who as we speak lies under a dirty wool blanket in the basement of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The silver teeth of a man by a jealous wife!

I always an old maid
I didn't always down the street
And have the children yell at me 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 him, as I had every 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 Lakes, usually straight off the farm anyway
And I'd never really let any of the country beaus 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 enjoy a man in red, so 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 his shoulder and had his arm in a sling
But I went anyway and saw him another woman
And she was wearing his

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

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

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

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

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

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