No surprise there

 

You think nothing surprises you

anymore      and then   

                   a hellebore opens

 

or a frog pops up     in the pond     or

                a robin hops    to     your   hand     or

     Netanyahu      bans aid agencies     from

Gaza         and            the West Bank

where people   survive      only just   

             in floods     debris     tents

 There are moments      when   you    are   so

                               surprised

         you can’t find any           words

    or not yet  ….
