God’s Face Appeared in your Gazpacho

God’s face appeared
in your gazpacho -
a refreshing mosaic
of red pepper ears
and slightly surprised
cucumber eyes
weeping tears
of chopped tomato.

The sun didn’t change
its normal course.
No neighbours came
nor ailing masses
nor men of god
to check in light
of latest doctrine.

God’s face appeared
in your gazpacho -
but you never knew.
You’d mislaid
your reading glasses.
