The Voodoo Lady

So I went to the voodoo lady and she
gave to me orris root for love eternal that
would not die and now this love that
will not die is a rope at our throats from
which we hang and sway, necks intact, we
cannot die and I didn’t eat no orris root.

So I went back to the voodoo lady and said
what now?                    Spit it out
                                      she said.
