Seven Silver

My little sister had a of wine
No doubt a glass of too many
"I bet he's out right now with his Nazi
That's right, I said it, 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 little sister went to some vlachos coffee-grind reader
Ad had a glint in her eye when she'd smirk
"Since that's how you feel, I 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 a storefront stoop and a moon
And a star and a placard that says Maria's.

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

Fraud gypsy bitch whose Greek was bad and English was

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

And her shawl,
Uncovered a dusty old ball

I peered in despite

on some love seat, my husband was there
Paying court to his and stroking her hair
I saw it for

Madame said, "Well, I had a notion
So before you came in, I prepared half a

Now you do the other half
I you a list
You must get seven part-silver curses made special out of 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 she'll 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 Fruit Market on Harlem and get the garden that lives in the banana bin!
Hurry, we have to get the 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 don't be late, for you must get the out of the teeth of one George Karmalitis
Who as we speak lies dead under a dirty blanket in the basement 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 walk down the
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 soon be his
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
come 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 never cut to my anyhow
And those Hyde Park fraternity fellas were out as a matter of

I had eyes for my guy, see
But one he had said 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 with woman
And she was wearing his

The silver still smelled and smelted down quick into the copper or lead or 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 little different, but the correct sort of spite
One of them panayia mou to make that blonde's hair fall straight out
The potion was ready back at my
And my sister and I mumbled and crossed ourselves when we dropped the 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 simple contentment
It's probably a 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 then that things wouldn't always be perfect
That one day he'd solace 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, sweet
Fountain, fountain
Let your water react and turn the curses to fact and true

The instant we dropped them in, our started to race
And a wind came up off the 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
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, you been so long
Oh Jimmy, where you been so

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