Seven Silver

My little sister had a of wine
No doubt a 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 back at three or four,
let him in, put the chain 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 that's how you feel, I 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 creeping down south
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 she said
And of course, I the worst

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

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

Madame to corner
And her shawl,
Uncovered a old crystal ball

I peered in despite

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

Now you must do the other
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 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 fell off a raggedy old tree right in the southwestern corner of Columbus Park!
Faster, we to go up to Caputo's Produce and Fruit Market on Harlem and get the garden snake 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 in the basement of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The teeth of a man killed by a jealous wife!

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

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 let any of the country club beaus get a chance
Those cream-colored summer suits were never cut to my anyhow
And those Hyde fraternity fellas were out as a matter of course
I don't enjoy a man in red, so not maroon, that's for sure

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

The silver still smelled and smelted down into 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 I might write
Something a little different, but the correct sort of spite
One of them asked panayia mou to make that blonde's hair straight out
The was ready back at my apartment
And my sister and I mumbled and crossed ourselves when we dropped the in
And I thought of my
My and her
And I of me and him, of what we were
I thought of our day

And I was happy, very simply
Do you it
A modest young woman's simple
It's probably a sunny day, and I it was
The birds were
And I like I was dancing on air
But not very far off the
I wonder if I knew even then that things wouldn't always be
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 is asleep
But the crows were watching, 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, sweet
Fountain, sweet
Let your water react and turn the curses to fact and true
And do

The instant we dropped them in, our hearts 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 to Austin, I don't remember how
Scared of what I had
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, where you so long
Oh Jimmy, where you been so
Oh Jimmy, where you been so

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