after Robert Hooke, Micrographia (1665)

A warm wall, heavy leaves, hard green grapes
    and a cluster of berries
        spun out of cobweb.
 
They were packed with brown roe, or, later,
    an anarchy of hatchlings,
        scattering crawlers
 
scarce larger than the eggs they once were,
    two eye-dots on a body
        the shape of an egg.
