Prague City Spires / Prague, City of Spiders

On the hill, an orchard:
ripening apple trees and bees burrowing
through spilled fruit, ants gutting
furrows through pips and rotten cores.

From the orchard, a city:
spilled bursts of spires and painted walls
guttering haggardly through trees,
patterning massive chemical diagrams.

In the city, a streetlamp:
haphazard spiderwebs dangle in the crook,
the ripening fruit of flies furrowing but
not bursting its tiny spiral patterns.
