Seven Curses

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

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

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

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

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

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

I in despite myself

Somewhere on love seat, my husband was there
Paying court to his mistress and her hair
I saw it for
"I believe it!" I cried
Maria said, "Well, I had a notion
So before you came in, I half a potion

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

Quick, for the potion, we have to get 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 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 through the north-facing doors
To the left by the shoe-shine boys in the lobby of the building!
And don't be late, for you must get the silver out of the of one George Karmalitis
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 killed by a wife!

I wasn't always an old
I didn't always walk 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 believe him, as I had every to
And I'd put on my dress and we'd 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 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 of course
I don't a man in red, so certainly not maroon, that's for sure

I had eyes 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 another woman
And she was his ring

The silver still smelled and down quick into the copper or lead or whatever else it was
And when the metal was still soft and hot you'd engrave the curse into it with a stylus an old whale bone
I thought for a second of what I 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 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 of me and him, of what we were
I thought of our day

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

The instant we dropped them in, our hearts started to
And a wind came up off the lake; 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
of what I had wrought
But terrified, I didn't get I had sought

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

Oh Jimmy, where you 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 to me with a smile on his face
And I looked, no hairs on his pajamas
And it was as if I had been from a bad dream
