Voodoo Haibun 1 cheating husband

Down by the mouth of ole man river was a women with an issue. Though she loved her husband dearly she could no longer deal with his chronic infidelity. In their many years of matrimony she could not remember a season that went by without catching him going behind her back. She knew she couldn’t leave him. He was the only man she ever loved and she could love no other. She tried marriage counseling, consulting their parish priest, even insisting he where a chastity belt all to no avail. She had reached her wits end. One day she was coming from work when she saw an advertisement for a Voodoo queen and decided to give it one last try.

Sitting quietly in the corner was an old lady pointing to a bag of chicken feathers on the floor welcoming her to have a seat. She did so, and began to explain to the priestess her reason for being there. The Mambo listened intently only interrupting her undivided attention to take a sip of some smelly brew she had earlier concocted. The Priestess said nothing until the women neared the end of her explanation of desperation when she mentioned “I love him to death…”. The Priestesses eyes widened. “To death you say” she said rising preparing to ready her cruel solution. The women nodded in tears. The old witch quickly shuffled to the nearest cabinet gathering bottles of venom and crushed herbs. The Voodoo queen gave the women a mixture of puffer fish and toad venom and some crushed locoweed. The ingredients that would give “till death do us part” a whole new meaning…
