Ram the Blade ship.
K. A. Applegate, The Beginning (from the Animorphs series; thanks fairylocks)
O how much truer are the animals
that pace up and down in steel grids,

alien things which they don’t understand;
and they burn like a silent fire
softly out and subside into themselves,
indifferent to the new adventures
and with their fierce instincts all alone.
