Letra
You had a fever. You had a real ailment. You had eaten a baddie. You lay helpless and a little bit crazy With the fever. You cried for America And its medicine cupboard. You tossed On the immovable Spanish galleon of a bed In the shuttered Spanish house That the sunstruck outside glare peered into As into a tomb. 'Help me,' you whispered, 'help me.' You rambled. You dreamed you were clambering Into the well-hatch and, waking, you wanted To clamber into the well-hatch - the all-clear Short cut to the cool of the water, The cool of the dark shaft, the best place To find oblivion from your burning tangle And the foreign bug. You cried for certain You were going to die. I bustled about. I was nursemaid. I fancied myself at that. I liked the crisis of the vital role. I felt things had become real. Suddenly mother, As a familiar voice, woke in me. She arrived with the certain knowledge. I made a huge soup. Carrots, tomatoes, peppers and onions, A rainbow stir of steaming elixir. You Had to become a sluice, a conduit Of pure vitamin C. I promised you, This had saved Voltaire from the plague. I had to saturate you and flush you With this simmer of essences. I spooned it Into your helpless, baby-bird gape, gently, Masterfully, patiently, hour by hour. I wiped your tear-ruined face, your exhausted face, All loose with woe and abandon. I spooned more and you gulped it like life, Sobbing 'I'm going to die.' As I paused Between your mouthfuls, I stared at the readings On your dials. Your cry jammed so hard Over into the red of catastrophe Left no space for worse. And I thought How sick is she? Is she exaggerating? And I recoiled, just a little, Just for balance, just for symmetry, Into sceptical patience, a little. If it can be borne, why make so much of it? 'Come on, now,' I soothed. 'Don't be so scared. It's only a bug, don't let it run away with you.'
