Storm Cursed (Mercy Thompson #11)(105)

When translating poetry (and spells are poetry), there is always a give-and-take over how much accuracy we should lose to keep the feel of the piece . . .

    FIRST SPELL

Water, be my friend, come and stay by my side.

Flow, wash, bind, grab,

release the curse, take it away, let go of hand and this place.

SECOND SPELL

Water, be my friend, come and stay by my side.

Flow, release, bind, grab, entangle the witchcraft, catch it, diminish the curse, decay the spell, take it away, hear me.
