The almost real and the post-real
The surreal and the plain real
All seem combined in an egg
Dangling above the heads
Of a couple getting married
In one of Raphael's paintings
The critics think it a symbol
Of purity overcoming passion
But I'm not sure it isn't
Something Raphael added
Out of his own second sight
Not a custom of that time
All of his Madonnas are lovers
And all of his lovers Madonnas
All he painted was the light
