ABSTRACT
Summer came went as it does what was left of it spent in The Woods no longer alone boys turned up some to play others to shoot sparrows blue tits heat frogs in milk bottles until they swelled up and burst scanned them all talked to no-one hid in bushes avoid the ones who killed the animals protest against cruelty rose in his throat finding no voice turned away feelings quashed. Hated a small refined cat the woman called mother bought dismissed it tormented frightened it it hated back didn’t feel like a sick dance he did to it what she did to him what boys did to animals what he did to himself.
