spires

hello. can anybody help me understand the lines whose "dark silhouettes
stud the flood-water –

spires prayer climbs past,"

this is the context:

like figures raised in grainy stone
among alders –

whose dark silhouettes
stud the flood-water –

spires prayer climbs past,

breath
floating free of everything mineral,

rising from this bedroom:
where curtains

keep out the night-whisper of rain
and gather a flexible dark.

I suppose it's meaning that the prayers from people are rising up to Heaven. The dark silhouettes are presumably from the spires themselves reflecting on the water.
