A buzzing machine of soft black stuff''
''Its mad gold stare and the way it sat
Crooning dark warmth: he loathed all that.''
''He took Daddy's stick and he hit the cat.''
''He took the stick and he thrust it in,
Hard and quick in the furry dark.''
''But the boy, quick too, slammed fast the door: The cat, half-through, was cracked like a nut''
''He sat and watched and he hated it,
Snug in its fur, hot blood in a muff''
