first hit  - in the stomach. and then in 
 the    neck.        lights     strobing 
        in    angel   patterns        
                                  
                              
                            
 body  broken, bleeding, kicked again and 
 again  (now  down  on   the   concrete), 
          ribs     cracked.

 the    hands    of    the    angel.     
                               
                                   
                                     
 she  lifts  her  cupped   hands  to  her 
 muzzle                 and    drinks.
