Love Mojo Gone Wrong
It's an easy mojo to tag upon your man
(albeit in a red flannel bag in your boot):
write his name nine times in blood ink and
twine with his hair about a John the Conqueror root
sprinkle on pure Come To Me Stay With Me Oil
you might add a Queen Elizabeth root to be sure
but if there's a shift in spelling a vowel unsteady
or your handwriting drifts or gets rough
you might have two besotted Smiths at the ready
worse...an entire male generation in the buff
counter mojo: use Chase Away Oil erase names
Love Potion Number 9.5
Besides dosing with both eyes of newt
and a big pinch of Ma's Organic Loveroot
the dead-giveaway clue that you've wibbletated
the brew in the alchemist's laundry room
is how anything it even lightly touches
discolors like a lovebite from a vacuum
and you're left stalking cute cops cute perps
or their no-so-cute vics inside the chalk lines
you're just outright kissing frogs or
dog-licking moms on 34th & Vine
full remedy: take two regretamine
Love Wish Voodoo Marks
With a doll—there's a cross of swamp oak inside
and the tear-soaked stuffing of Spanish moss
the pins only affix and direct the slow hex
like the Xs on the tomb of Marie Laveau
with her mausoleum—you place a pattern
you can't just deface it any which way
three red marks in St. Louis Cemetery
then she grants a love wish a bit of fun
but should you pin or X a forbidden spot
you might reverse the structure of your plot
the re-reversal: a kiss on Bayou Loup-garou
